SNAP recertification with changing income after 9 years as a software tester

My SNAP recertification is coming up and my income changed a lot since my layoff. I am in Richmond, in case local advice matters. The caseworker asked for bank statements too. Is there an expedited option for people with very little income?

Take photos of everything you send and write down the date. I had to resend one page and the record helped.

Some local food pantries can help while the case is pending. Try calling 211 for one near you.
