Question about re-applying & fraud

Question

Idk if anyone knows anything. A week ago I re-applied for snap, I used to have it. When recertification came up I missed it because I had bad covid in January. I kept trying to call my case worker. She never answered, always goes to voicemail. She'd never return my calls. Eventually I talked to someone that said shes most likely not my case worker anymore and i have to start a new case. So I filled out an application online, talked to someone later that day on the phone. And she told me not to get worried because its normal, but i have to talk to an agent from the fraud department. I talked with him today on the phone and i set up an appointmentfor next werk. (of course now all of this is even more frustrating because, in the meantime I think I have to withdraw my application cause I'm now moving counties for a job I got).

Any way, is it normal to talk with a fraud agent? I've never done it before and honestly now I'm worried (I have bad anxiety). I'm worried I said something wrong or something, because I said we have zero income and are both unemployed (which is true) I technically have "income" from ebay, I've been having to sell stuff to buy food and try to not get the lights turned off.
