> Delaware Food Stamp Program
Program Description:
Food Stamp benefits are issued through an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) system. When benefits are approved, the benefits are posted to the client's account by 6:00 a.m. the next morning. Monthly benefits are posted to accounts by 6:00 a.m. alphabetically over seven calendar days starting with the 5th calendar day of each month. A food stamp household is defined as a group of people who purchase and prepare food together. Spouses and children under the age of 22 who live together must be included in the same food stamp household. You must be a U.S. citizen or an eligible alien to get food stamps.
