The program started in a few states in 2019 to test the feasibility and implications of allowing retail food stores to accept SNAP benefits through online transactions. The USDA opened the program to all states in the spring of 2020 to give individuals and families an additional way to shop for groceries during the COVID-19 emergency, which resulted in new health and safety guidelines that have made it challenging for many households to travel and shop.<\/p>\r\n        <p>The Division of Social Services is implementing SNAP Online Purchasing to ensure that SNAP recipients have equal access to food purchasing options and can meet their food needs during the pandemic.<\/p>\r\n        <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usda.gov\/media\/press-releases\/2020\/06\/10\/usda-approves-delaware-accept-snap-benefits-online\"><b>USDA Approves Delaware to Accept SNAP Benefits Online<\/b><\/a> (USDA Press Release &#8211; 6\/10\/2020)<\/p>\r\n        <p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.delaware.gov\/2020\/06\/17\/delaware-added-to-snap-online-purchasing-pilot-program\/\"><b>Delaware Added to SNAP Online Purchasing Pilot Program<\/b><\/a> (Delaware Health and Social Services Press Release &#8211; 6\/17\/2020)<\/p>\r\n        <p><strong>Retailer Requirements<\/strong><\/p>\r\n        <p>Retailers who are interested in providing online purchasing capabilities for SNAP EBT must be authorized by the USDA&#8217;s Food and Nutrition Service to participate.<\/p>\r\n        <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fns.usda.gov\/snap\/retailer-requirements-provide-online-purchasing\"><b>Click here<\/b><\/a> to learn more about the retailer requirements to provide online purchasing to SNAP households.<\/p>\r\n        <h2><strong>APPLY FOR SNAP FOOD BENEFITS<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n        <p>Go to <a href=\"https:\/\/assist.dhss.delaware.gov\"><b>Delaware ASSIST<\/b><\/a> to apply online for Delaware&#8217;s Food Supplement Program or contact your <a href=\"\/dss\/ofclocations.html\"><b>local office<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\r\n        <h2><strong>RESOURCES<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n        <p><b>SNAP Online Purchasing Flyer: <a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/dss\/pdf\/SNAP_OnlinePurchasingPublicFlyer_2022_ENGLISH.pdf\">English<\/a> or <a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/dss\/pdf\/SNAP_OnlinePurchasingPublicFlyer_Revised_2022_SPANISH.pdf\">Spanish<\/a><\/b><\/p>\r\n        <!--[END]-->\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <!-- \/container -->\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Listen Social Services Menu Home About About DSS Sections &#038; Programs FAQs Contact Information Office Locations Services ASSIST Cash Assistance General Assistance Refugee Cash Assistance Temporary Assistance (TANF) Food Supplement Program Child Care Income and Eligibility Information Regulations Publications &#038; Forms Reports &#038; Statistics SNAP Online Purchasing Program Buy groceries online with your Delaware EBT [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-543","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www-test.dhss.delaware.gov\/dss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/543","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www-test.dhss.delaware.gov\/dss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www-test.dhss.delaware.gov\/dss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www-test.dhss.delaware.gov\/dss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www-test.dhss.delaware.gov\/dss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=543"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www-test.dhss.delaware.gov\/dss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/543\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":646,"href":"https:\/\/www-test.dhss.delaware.gov\/dss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/543\/revisions\/646"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www-test.dhss.delaware.gov\/dss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=543"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
