Applying for food benefits after losing my job after 12 years as a procurement assistant

I lost my job as a procurement assistant and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. There are 12 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I have a final pay stub, a termination letter and my unemployment approval. Is there an expedited option for people with very little income?

Take photos of everything you send and write down the date. I had to resend one page and the record helped.

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