What’s particularly interesting in Delaware’s SNAP program is that the issuance date is determined by the first letter of a recipient’s last name, ensuring a smooth and systematic allocation of resources. For November, recipients can expect payments to be distributed between November 2nd and 24th. Furthermore, individuals aged 21 and younger who reside with their parents are required to apply jointly, underlining the state’s commitment to assisting families in need.
To qualify for Delaware’s SNAP program or SNAP payments in Delaware, households must meet certain income criteria, with their earnings not exceeding 200% of the federal poverty level. For single-person households, this translates to a maximum monthly income of $2,266, while eight-person households cannot exceed $7,772 per month. The size of SNAP payments in the First State is closely tied to the number of individuals in the household. Single-person households receive $281, while eight-person households receive the maximum amount of $1,691, according to Delaware.gov.

Eligibility and Fund Allocation: Navigating Delaware’s SNAP Program
According to the report released by MSN, for households larger than eight, an additional $211 is included for each extra person. Delaware’s SNAP program payments are automatically loaded onto a Delaware Food First card, an electronic benefit transfer card, designed exclusively for food and nonalcoholic drink purchases, ensuring that recipients can access essential sustenance while preventing misuse.
This robust Delaware’s SNAP program, initiated through the 1964 Food Stamp Act, reflects a key component of President Lyndon B. Johnson’s Great Society initiatives, aiming to enhance the nutritional well-being of economically disadvantaged individuals and families.
Delaware’s SNAP program is a lifeline for many residents, providing vital assistance for their nutrition needs. The state’s extended distribution window, coupled with clear eligibility criteria, ensures that those who require support can access it efficiently. With November payments fast approaching, Delaware’s dedication to the welfare of its residents shines through in its robust Delaware’s SNAP program.

Albert Pujols announced Monday that he and wife Deidre are splitting up, days after she underwent successful surgery to remove a brain tumor.
“I’ve been asked a lot of questions over the past few days regarding what’s been going on at home and sadly, after 22 years of marriage, I have made the decision to file for divorce from my wife, Deidre,” Pujols said in a statement released by his agent, Dan Lozano.
“I realize this is not the most opportune time with Opening Day approaching and other family events that have recently taken place. These situations are never easy and isn’t something that just happened overnight.”

This offseason, Pujols signed a one-year deal to return to the Cardinals, where he previously played from 2001 to 2011.
He and Deidre had been married since 2000.
“As a devout Christian, this is an outcome that I never wanted to see happen,” Pujols continued in his statement. “For many long days and nights, I prayed, asking the Lord for His guidance.”

Last season, Pujols hit .236 with 17 homers as he split time with the Dodgers and Angels.
Halsey left the 2022 Grammy Awards early after attending just days following surgery for endometriosis.
“Not feeling super well so I left early,” the singer wrote on their Instagram Story on Sunday night.
The “Without Me” singer, who uses the pronouns she/they, explained that she managed to stay to watch one of her favorite bands perform but that she then needed fuel and rest.
“Had to see BTS tho,” they said “Going to get pasta and sleep. Thanks for everything luv u all.”
They attended the Las Vegas event looking chic in a strapless burgundy-and-black Pressiat gown. She also rocked a red lip that matched her fierce red tresses peaking out of her statement hat.
On Saturday, Halsey revealed that she still planned to attend this year’s Grammys despite having had surgery three days ago.

“The last time I attended the Grammys was 2017 and it was 3 days after I had my first Endometriosis surgery. I walked the carpet with my stitches still in,” Halsey shared on Instagram Saturday.
“As luck would have it, I’m attending tomorrow for the first time in years and I had surgery again (you guessed it) 3 days ago.”
They added, “Only posting this to say, if you see me be gentle lol I’m fragile. Fragile but excited.”

Halsey, 27, has been open about her struggle with endometriosis— an often painful condition in which tissues that normally line the inside of a uterus instead grow outside of it and can sometimes cause fertility challenges.
She has undergone several procedures to help and even proudly flaunted her scars to empower others who have gone through the same struggles.
They opened up about her condition in 2018, saying on an episode of “The Doctors” that they were getting “aggressive” in treating her endometriosis and family planning.

“I’m 23 years old and I’m going to freeze my eggs,” Halsey explained. “And when I tell people that, they’re like, ‘You’re 23, why do you need to do that? Why do you need to freeze your eggs?’ Doing an ovarian reserve is important to me because I’m fortunate enough to have that as an option, but I need to be aggressive about protecting my fertility, about protecting myself.”
Halsey gave birth and welcomed her first child with boyfriend Alev Aydin in July 2021.
Elon Musk is taking a 9.2% stake in Twitter just days after Tesla’s billionaire CEO criticized the social network for stifling free speech and publicly mused about creating a rival platform.
An SEC filing revealed on Monday that Musk — the world’s richest person with a fortune of more than $287 billion, according to Forbes — bought some 73.5 million shares of the company, which are worth an estimated $2.89 billion.
News of the acquisition sent shares of Twitter soaring by more than 25% in pre-market trading on Monday.
Musk has been raising questions about the ability to communicate freely on Twitter, tweeting last month about free speech and the social media platform.
“Free speech is essential to a functioning democracy. Do you believe Twitter rigorously adheres to this principle?” he tweeted.
The next day, Musk took it a step further, writing: “Given that Twitter serves as the de facto public town square, failing to adhere to free speech principles fundamentally undermines democracy. What should be done?”
In a separate tweet, Musk said that he was “giving serious thought” to creating a new social media platform.

Tech giants like Twitter, Facebook, Google, and Amazon have been accused by some conservatives and free speech advocates of banning users with unpopular views.
Then-Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said last year that his company erred when it censored a New York Post article about Hunter Biden’s laptop in the weeks leading up to the presidential election.
Former President Donald Trump, who was kicked off the large social media platforms immediately following the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, launched his own network, Truth Social, which bills itself as a conservative-friendly alternative to Twitter.
It rocketed to the number-one spot on Apple’s free apps chart when it was made available for download in February — days after Trump made his only post on the site, telling fans that “your favorite president will see you soon.”
But a combination of technical glitches, a lengthy waiting list to join, a collapse of the share price, and Trump’s apparent disinterest in posting messages has marred the app’s rollout.

Musk, who is also the CEO of the SpaceX rocket company, has also gotten in trouble for his itchy Twitter fingers.
Last month, the Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday filed papers in Manhattan federal court that noted the Tesla CEO was bound by a 2018 agreement to get permission in advance if he wished to tweet certain posts.
Tesla said that this past November, the SEC sought “information on our governance processes around compliance” with a September 2018 settlement between the company and the regulatory agency.
The subpoena was issued just 10 days after Musk triggered a stock sell-off when he asked his Twitter followers if he should sell 10% of his stake in the company.
Tesla’s stock price dipped by some 16% over the course of the two days of trading that followed the tweet.
As part of the settlement between Tesla and the SEC, Musk agreed to step down as chairman and to appoint independent members to the company’s board of directors.
He also agreed to pay $20 million while the company kicked in another $20 million in fines. The SEC said Musk agreed to “establish a new committee of independent directors and put in place additional controls and procedures to oversee [his] communications.”
Halsey paired her designer threads with fresh stitches.
The singer walked the Grammys 2022 red carpet in a Pressiat gown just four days after getting surgery in Las Vegas on Sunday.
Halsey looked better than ever in her strapless burgundy-and-black dress paired with black high heels and a coordinating cocktail hat.
The “Without Me” crooner also rocked a rep lip that matched her hair — which peeked out of the headpiece — and accessorized with a diamond necklace and diamond drop earrings.
Halsey, who uses the pronouns she/they, shared on Saturday that they would be attending the 64th annual award show with stitches after undergoing a procedure.
“The last time I attended the Grammys was 2017 and it was 3 days after I had my first Endometriosis surgery. I walked the carpet with my stitches still in ? ,” she shared in a post to Instagram on Saturday, along with a photo of herself in a hospital gown.
“As luck would have it, I’m attending tomorrow for the first time in years and I had surgery again (you guessed it) 3 days ago.”

NEW ORLEANS — It has been 42 years since Mike Krzyzewski, known universally now as Coach K, showed up at Duke as The New Kid on Dean Smith’s block, and slowly but surely where there was smoke on Tobacco Road there was fire.
And now, on Saturday night, the college basketball gods decided to save the best for last of an enduring Armageddon that has never raged in a Final Four semifinal that will send either Duke or North Carolina to the NCAA championship game against Kansas or Villanova on Monday night in an arena where Michael Jordan won Dean Smith’s first title 20 years ago.
An historic blue-blooded fan-fueled feud that is such unprecedented compelling theater no one will be surprised if the Monday night championship game turns out to be somewhat of an anticlimax.
“It’s the best rivalry in sports, period,” North Carolina guard Caleb Love said Friday. “This game will go down in history as one of the best games ever. I can’t wait for tomorrow.”
North Carolina rookie coach Hubert Davis would be the slam dunk sentimental favorite in his rookie season if Coach K weren’t the 75-year-old larger-than-life living legend and the John Wooden of his generation, looking to ride off into the sunset with his sixth national championship.
And considering the evolution of the game — the wild Wild West recruitment, the advent of the one-and-dones, the expansion of the tournament field, the more exhaustive and draining survive and advance format — here’s one vote for Coach K as college basketball’s GOAT.
Gene “Tinkerbell” Banks was a senior when he played for the rookie Coach K in 1980.

Matt Doherty played against the rookie Coach K as a North Carolina freshman and later coached against him.
“When you have a chance to go out like this, it’s the most amazing thing,” Banks told The Post. “I know John Wooden went out of his last game very well, but this game here will cement it as far as the Carolina-Duke rivalry.
“The world’s going to be watching this.
“They know about the backdrop, they know about the history. For him to win this game, it will really put a cement on his legacy.”
Banks had lost the national championship game to Kentucky in 1978 under then-coach Bill Foster and was a senior when Coach K, a Bobby Knight West Point disciple, was hired. “I never heard of him,” Banks recalled.
A week later Coach K had Banks and fellow freshman Kenny Dennard in his office. “The first word that came out of his mouth was, ‘I’m not Bobby Knight,’ ” Banks said.
Then Coach K tried to break the ice. “He was talking about there are lines you don’t cross when you’re doing manhood and doing things like that,” Banks said. “In the next breath he goes, ‘And you two guys have crossed on it, pissed on it, crapped on it and so forth.’ But it was funny because he was making a joke.”
But in a Feb. 7, 1981, game at Cameron Indoor against Maryland, the Dark Knight surfaced unexpectedly.
“This is when who he was,” Banks said. “He comes into the locker room, and that’s when you saw the Bobby Knight. He takes off his jacket and he yells and screams: ‘I want soldiers, I want guys who are going to go out here and fight for me!’ We’ve never seen this. And we’re looking at each other like, ‘God, here’s Bobby Knight in the flesh.’ And he’s going off and he’s going: ‘I want guys when we leave out of this room, we’re going to go ahead and take care of our business. We’re going to take care of our home.’ ”
Coach K left. Then he returned: “Are you with me soldiers?” Yes, his Duke soldiers were with him. “We jumped up and ran out of that locker room, did the layup line and we won this game,” Banks said. “That’s when I saw the power he had of motivating.”

Doherty recalls Banks sending the Feb. 28, 1981, game into overtime and then winning it for Coach K’s first triumph in his third try over Carolina at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
“It was always a big deal, even when they weren’t great,” Doherty told The Post. “The Cameron Crazies were still crazy. If you went out for early warmups, they were yelling and saying things and doing goofy things. They were always pretty nuts, even when their teams weren’t very good.”
Banks recalls Coach K treasuring that first win over Smith and the James Worthy-Sam Perkins Tar Heels more than he let on at the time.
“It was pretty much under control. But I know one thing, his last daughter he had, I know I’m the reason for that, because he went home and the next day he came back and he had this smile on his face — that’s when I knew that he was human, because he came back and said he had a hell of a night last night. I guess his daughter Jamie — him and Mickie went back and made a baby on that shot. And he doesn’t deny it now,” Banks said with a laugh.
Doherty had been recruited out of Holy Trinity HS (Long Island) and averaged 24 minutes and 6.0 ppg as a freshman. He was an immediate target at Cameron. “I know they picked on me a little bit,” Doherty recalled. “I’d say they’re just a bunch of yankees who’d come down to Duke and they’d let out their stress at games or something like that. I think they picked on me because they knew that I wasn’t going to score 20 points on ’em. They didn’t want to make Michael or Sam mad.”
Coach K incurred the ire of Duke fans early on (17-13, 10-17, 11-17 in his first three seasons) but he persevered thanks to the continued support of late athletic director Tom Butters.

“By the time I was a senior, Coach K came out and said something before the ACC Tournament about there’s a double standard in the ACC regarding officiating,” Doherty said. “And I really thought that impacted our game with Duke in the ACC Tournament where Duke beat us by like two. So then it was game on when they turned the corner.”
Doherty enjoyed success in his first year on the North Carolina sideline before some players rebelled against his combative style and forced his resignation after just three seasons.
“The first game we played Duke was at Duke, it was like a seven-point game with about a minute to go and Duke’s making a run,” Doherty said, “and we were up, so I was trying to keep the guys loose, so in the huddle I said, ‘One thing’s not changed and Duke still has the ugliest cheerleaders in the ACC.’ And I just decided to get a chuckle out of ’em to keep ‘em loose, and we ended up winning the game. So that’s the first time Carolina beat Duke at Duke in five years.”
It was an innocent joke that was intended to stay private.
“It got out and then it was on TV,” Doherty said. “I remember people debating whether it was appropriate or not, so I sent a letter to Coach K and I sent a letter to the Duke cheerleading coach, who ironically was a cheerleader at Carolina when I was in school.
“So it’s kind of made the rivalry folklore.”
Wait until Coach K versus Carolina on Super Saturday.
