Applying for food benefits after losing my job after 15 years as a bookkeeper

My SNAP recertification is coming up and my income changed a lot since my layoff. There are 15 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I have a final pay stub, a termination letter and my unemployment approval. What did you submit and how long did approval take?

I sent my last two pay stubs, the separation letter and a bank statement. I heard back in about 24 weeks, and my county offered an interview by phone.

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