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

I lost my job as a production planner and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. I am in Cincinnati, in case local advice matters. There are 9 people in my household. 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.

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