Applying for food benefits after losing my job after 5 years as an IT help-desk technician

I lost my job as an IT help-desk technician and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. It has been weighing on me all week. The caseworker asked for bank statements too.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 6 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
