If benefits were stolen

Questions about your case rather than your card — applications, recertification, reporting a change — go to Delaware DHSS on 1-866-843-7212. That line keeps business hours.
When your next deposit lands
Delaware staggers deposits across the month, so a balance lower than you expected often just means your day has not come round yet. See the Delaware deposit schedule.
