Federal Grant Award Summary

The Delaware Department of Health and Social Services received a formula grant award of $297,082.00 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service under the State Administrative Matching Grants for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (CFDA 10.561). The award, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, funds the SNAP Employment and Training (E&T) 50% Operational Grant component, which supports Delaware's administration of employment and training services for SNAP participants.

Under this award, the Department of Health and Social Services, operating through its Division of Social Services, delivers critical operational support for SNAP E&T program activities designed to help low-income individuals secure employment and achieve economic self-sufficiency. The funding covers state administrative expenses associated with program management, benefit administration, eligibility determination, and the implementation of employment and training services. As a formula grant distributed directly to the state agency responsible for SNAP administration, this award is one component of Delaware's comprehensive federal nutrition assistance portfolio and represents the state's ongoing effort to enhance program delivery and expand E&T capacity for eligible program participants.
