SNAP after a layoff: what documents did you send? - what worked for you?

    I lost my job as a bank teller and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. There are 11 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I have a final pay stub, a termination letter and my unemployment approval. What did you submit and how long did approval take?

    I sent my last two pay stubs, the separation letter and a bank statement. I heard back in about 23 weeks, and my county offered an interview by phone.

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