Applying for food benefits after losing my job

I lost my job as a forklift operator and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. There are 14 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I have a final pay stub, a termination letter and my unemployment approval. Is there an expedited option for people with very little income?

Some local food pantries can help while the case is pending. Try calling 211 for one near you.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
