There is now less than a week for Delaware residents to submit applications for the latest round of relief checks worth up to $300.
Gov. John Carney (D-DE) signed legislation in April that established the 2022 Delaware Relief Rebate Program, hoping to give $230 million to taxpayers at the time. Delaware residents only have until Nov. 30 at 11:59 p.m. to file for the rebate, after which no additional applications will be accepted, according to the state government.

“If you’ve already been sent a check, you can contact our office, and we can work with you to verify your identification and get the check forwarded to you, or you can pick it up in our offices,” Delaware Secretary of Finance Rick Geisenberger said. “And if you’ve not been sent a check, you can apply if you meet the qualifications to apply for a rebate.”
The state has so far issued over 782,000 direct payments of $300 for each adult Delaware resident. However, state officials said that thousands more residents qualify for the rebates.
Online applicants must provide valid Delaware residential mailing addresses, Social Security numbers, and active driver’s licenses or identification cards that were issued by Dec. 31, 2021. Additionally, eligible applicants must be residents of Delaware who were 18 and older living in the state on Dec. 31 of last year to qualify for this rebate.

“The last two years have been challenging for every Delaware family,” Carney said in a statement. “But Delawareans have proven their resilience. Our hope is these direct payments will provide some measure of relief for you and your family.”
