Applying for food benefits after losing my job - what worked for you?

I got a notice asking for proof of income and I am unsure what to send. I have been trying to stay organised about it. The caseworker asked for bank statements too. Did they ask for anything unexpected?

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.
