    I lost my job as a data-entry clerk and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. I have a final pay stub, a termination letter and my unemployment approval. Is there an expedited option for people with very little income?

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

    I sent my last two pay stubs, the separation letter and a bank statement. I heard back in about 15 weeks, and my county offered an interview by phone.
