Applying for food benefits after losing my job

I lost my job as a security officer and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. The caseworker asked for bank statements too. What did you submit and how long did approval take?

Ask about expedited service. I was told it depends on how little cash and income you have right now.

Take photos of everything you send and write down the date. I had to resend one page and the record helped.
