Applying for food benefits after losing my job (Chicago)

My SNAP recertification is coming up and my income changed a lot since my layoff. There are 8 people in my household.

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

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