SNAP recertification with changing income - what worked for you?

I lost my job as a delivery driver and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. There are 7 people in my household. Did they ask for anything unexpected?

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

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