SNAP recertification with changing income after 10 years as a payroll clerk

I lost my job as a payroll clerk and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. I have been trying to stay organised about it. 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.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.
