I lost my job as an administrative assistant and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. I do not usually post, so bear with me. I have a final pay stub, a termination letter and my unemployment approval.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 3 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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