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

I lost my job as an accountant and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. Any experience at all would help. 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.

I sent my last two pay stubs, the separation letter and a bank statement. I heard back in about 26 weeks, and my county offered an interview by phone.
