SNAP recertification with changing income - 19 weeks in

I lost my job as a teaching assistant and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. It has been weighing on me all week. 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.
