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

I lost my job as a web developer and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. I worked as a web developer before this. There are 12 people in my household. Is there an expedited option for people with very little income?

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

I sent my last two pay stubs, the separation letter and a bank statement. I heard back in about 16 weeks, and my county offered an interview by phone.
