More than 35,000 Delaware households that get help affording food through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will receive extra money through federal coronavirus emergency funding. While the federal legislation does not increase the maximum amount of money a SNAP client can receive, it authorizes states to give every client the maximum amount. Normally, SNAP benefits decrease as household income increases.
