Applying for food benefits after losing my job (Seattle)

My SNAP recertification is coming up and my income changed a lot since my layoff. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. The caseworker asked for bank statements too. Is there an expedited option for people with very little income?

I sent my last two pay stubs, the separation letter and a bank statement. I heard back in about 19 weeks, and my county offered an interview by phone.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 12 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
