Applying for food benefits after losing my job - 8 months and counting

I lost my job as a production planner and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. I worked as a production planner before 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 8 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
