All newly certified households, except those that are given expedited service, must be given an opportunity to participate no later than thirty (30) calendar days following the date the application was filed. An opportunity to participate consists of providing households with access to their benefits. A household has not been provided an opportunity to participate within the 30-day standard if the benefits are not posted to their EBT account by the 30th day. 12 DE Reg. 344 (09/01/08)
