My SNAP recertification is coming up and my income changed a lot since my layoff. There are 4 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. The caseworker asked for bank statements too. Did they ask for anything unexpected?

I sent my last two pay stubs, the separation letter and a bank statement. I heard back in about 14 weeks, and my county offered an interview by phone.

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