Applying for food benefits after losing my job after 12 years as a marketing coordinator

I got a notice asking for proof of income and I am unsure what to send. It has been a long 20 weeks. The caseworker asked for bank statements too. Is there an expedited option for people with very little income?

I sent my last two pay stubs, the separation letter and a bank statement. I heard back in about 20 weeks, and my county offered an interview by phone.
