Applying for food benefits after losing my job (Birmingham)

I lost my job as a school bus driver and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. The caseworker asked for bank statements too. Is there an expedited option for people with very little income?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.

Ask about expedited service. I was told it depends on how little cash and income you have right now.
