    I lost my job as a barista and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. The caseworker asked for bank statements too.

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

    I sent my last two pay stubs, the separation letter and a bank statement. I heard back in about 21 weeks, and my county offered an interview by phone.
