Applying for food benefits after losing my job - 24 weeks in

I lost my job as a software tester and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. I do not usually post, so bear with me. There are 12 people in my household. Is there an expedited option for people with very little income?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
