I lost my job as a barista and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. Any experience at all would help. The caseworker asked for bank statements too. What did you submit and how long did approval take?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 14 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

I sent my last two pay stubs, the separation letter and a bank statement. I heard back in about 12 weeks, and my county offered an interview by phone.
