SNAP recertification with changing income after 11 years as a forklift operator

My SNAP recertification is coming up and my income changed a lot since my layoff. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. The caseworker asked for bank statements too. What did you submit and how long did approval take?

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

I sent my last two pay stubs, the separation letter and a bank statement. I heard back in about 6 weeks, and my county offered an interview by phone.
