On 8 January 2016, the entertainment web site The Reporterz published an article reporting that Delaware had created a new child support card that controlled what mothers can and cannot buy with their child support funds: The article was ambiguous about whether the card would apply to all funds received for the care of children (such as support monies paid by former spouses) or funds made available through government assistance programs. It didn't matter either way, though, as the story was a complete fabrication that originated with a fake news web site that does not publish factual stories. A disclaimer on The Reporterz states that every article is based on a true story, only the facts have been changed. In this case, Delaware really does have a card that makes it easier for single parents and guardians to receive funds. The First State Family Card is a pre-paid debit card that does not require bank account: While Delaware does have a card that makes it easier for parents to collect child support, the handbook for the First State Family Card (not the Child Support Card) does not mention any restrictions on how the funds may be utilized.
