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

My SNAP recertification is coming up and my income changed a lot since my layoff. There are 8 people in my household. Did they ask for anything unexpected?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 13 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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