Applying for food benefits after losing my job - any advice?

I got a notice asking for proof of income and I am unsure what to send. I worked as a machine operator before this. The caseworker asked for bank statements too. Is there an expedited option for people with very little income?

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

I sent my last two pay stubs, the separation letter and a bank statement. I heard back in about 13 weeks, and my county offered an interview by phone.
