DE Food Stamp Employment and Training - Participant Reimbursement

Participants are reimbursed for expenses incurred in fulfilling Food Stamp Employment and Training (FSE&T) program requirements as follows:

·      Up to $30 per participant, per month; and

·      Up to $496.65 per month for dependents under age 2; or $521.60 per month for dependents with special needs under the age of 2; and

·      Up to $370.88 per month for dependents over 2, or $389.36 per month for dependents with special needs over 2.

The amounts noted represent the statewide limits that the Division of Social Services (DSS) has set for its FSE&T-TANF Child Care programs.

DSS provides dependent care services through licensed care and exempt facilities. The types of care provided include: full-time care, before/after school care, and extended childcare in either a family/group home or childcare center.

When a FSE&T work registrant needs dependent care to participate or continue participating in a component activity, work registrants are offered an option of using a childcare facility with a contract with DSS or any other licensed or exempt facility a registrant might choose. Monthly childcare providers submit attendance reports to DSS, which makes payment to providers based on attendance and the prescribed dependent care formula.

See the Child Care Subsidy Overview topic for information about availability during participation in education and training programs.

Method of Reimbursement for Non-Dependent Care Costs

The State agency reimburses participants for transportation and costs other than dependent care based on actual expenses incurred.

The cost per participant per month is a reimbursement amount equal to the actual costs documented by the participant, but not exceeding the standard amount of $30. Transportation reimbursement is given for those participants residing beyond a ten-block radius from the place of work for urban areas, and 1/4 mile radius for rural areas, except in extenuating circumstances such as physical impairment.

Contract providers and Case Managers are responsible for providing payments to participants.

Depending on the individual's circumstances, payments can be either an advance allowance or reimbursement after incurred expenses.
