SNAP recertification with changing income - 8 months and counting

I lost my job as a medical assistant and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. I have a final pay stub, a termination letter and my unemployment approval. 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.
