SNAP recertification with changing income

I lost my job as a payroll clerk and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. It has been weighing on me all week. I have a final pay stub, a termination letter and my unemployment approval. 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.
