Applying for food benefits after losing my job after 4 years as a hotel front-desk agent

I got a notice asking for proof of income and I am unsure what to send. It has been a long 11 weeks. The caseworker asked for bank statements too. 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 11 weeks, and my county offered an interview by phone.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.
