Applying for food benefits after losing my job (update)

I got a notice asking for proof of income and I am unsure what to send. Any experience at all would help. The caseworker asked for bank statements too. Did they ask for anything unexpected?

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
