Applying for food benefits after losing my job - 8 weeks in

I got a notice asking for proof of income and I am unsure what to send. It has been weighing on me all week. There are 7 people in my household. 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 settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
