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

I lost my job as an electrician's helper and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. This is my first time dealing with any of this. 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.

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