Applying for food benefits after losing my job, home health aide here

I lost my job as a home health aide and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. I am in Boston, in case local advice matters. 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.

Take photos of everything you send and write down the date. I had to resend one page and the record helped.
