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

My SNAP recertification is coming up and my income changed a lot since my layoff. This is my first time dealing with any of this. There are 13 people in my household. Is there an expedited option for people with very little income?

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 15 weeks, and my county offered an interview by phone.
