Food stamps: Final direct payment worth up to $1,691 to wrap up in Delaware in two days

Delaware's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will wrap up July payments, worth up to $1,691, in two days.

Low-income households in Delaware who receive SNAP benefits will get their payments by July 23. Delaware has an unusually long window for issuing payments. They are given out over the course of 23 days.

The distribution of payments begins on the second day of each month, and the amount depends on familial size. A single household will get $281, and an eight-member household will receive $1,691, according to Delaware.gov.

The first letter of a recipient's last name determines when they get their payment. Recipients will have access to the funds through an EBT card, which can be used like a credit card.

Any amount left on an EBT card at the end of each month will hold over into the next month, meaning users will not have to rush to use any amount they didn't already spend. The benefits won't expire for as long as the card is regularly used.

SNAP benefits are forbidden for use on anything but food and nonalcoholic drinks. SNAP is active across all states and Washington, D.C.
