SNAP recertification with changing income - what worked for you?

I lost my job as a sales associate and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. The caseworker asked for bank statements too. Did they ask for anything unexpected?

I sent my last two pay stubs, the separation letter and a bank statement. I heard back in about 14 weeks, and my county offered an interview by phone.

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