Applying for food benefits after losing my job - 9 months and counting

I lost my job as a home health aide and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. I am in Knoxville, in case local advice matters. The caseworker asked for bank statements too. Did they ask for anything unexpected?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.

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