This "Survival Guide" will help you avoid the penalties and sanctions of Delaware's strict and sometimes harsh Welfare program known as Delaware's "A Better Chance" or "ABC". You have rights and you should be aware of them. Being prepared is the name of the game.

     Delaware's welfare system is very confusing. This guide may not answer all of your questions but we hope it will answer many of them. If at any time you have a question about welfare, workfare, food stamps, Medicaid, or child care, you should call your worker and/or local Community Legal Aid Society office.
