SNAP recertification with changing income

I lost my job as a call-centre agent and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. I am in Detroit, in case local advice matters. The caseworker asked for bank statements too. What did you submit and how long did approval take?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.

Ask about expedited service. I was told it depends on how little cash and income you have right now.
