I lost my job as a nurse's aide and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. The caseworker asked for bank statements too. What did you submit and how long did approval take?

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

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