RE:         Delaware Group Government Fund (the “Registrant”)
File Nos. 002-97889; 811-04304                                                                                      

Dear Sir or Madam:

Pursuant to Rule 497(j) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, this letter serves as certification that the forms of Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information that would have been filed under paragraph (c) of Rule 497 would not have differed from those filed in Post-Effective Amendment No. 46 (the “Amendment”) to the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form N-1A.  The Amendment was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission electronically on September 27, 2013.

If you have any questions or comments concerning this certification, please call me at (215) 564-8071.

Very truly yours,


/s/ Taylor Brody
