Applying for food benefits after losing my job

I lost my job as a call-centre agent and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. This is my first time dealing with any of this. There are 5 people in my household. What did you submit and how long did approval take?

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

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