Applying for food benefits after losing my job - 3 weeks in

I lost my job as a line cook and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. This is my first time dealing with any of this. The caseworker asked for bank statements too. What did you submit and how long did approval take?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 13 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
