SNAP recertification with changing income - any advice?

I got a notice asking for proof of income and I am unsure what to send. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. The caseworker asked for bank statements too.

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
