Applying for food benefits after losing my job

My SNAP recertification is coming up and my income changed a lot since my layoff. It has been weighing on me all week. The caseworker asked for bank statements too. What did you submit and how long did approval take?

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

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