Applying for food benefits after losing my job

I lost my job as a production planner and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. There are 7 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. There are 7 people in my household. What did you submit and how long did approval take?

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

I sent my last two pay stubs, the separation letter and a bank statement. I heard back in about 7 weeks, and my county offered an interview by phone.
