Applying for food benefits after losing my job - first time posting

I lost my job as a customer-service rep and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I have a final pay stub, a termination letter and my unemployment approval. 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.

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