WASHINGTON — Millions of parents refusing to pay child support may have their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) eligibility revoked after the US Department of Agriculture rescinded a Biden administration rule earlier this month, The Post has learned. The move, which revives a policy implemented during the first Trump administration, could save taxpayers more than $8 billion per year in money that’s formerly gone to delinquent child support payees. “This is not about kicking people, who truly can’t afford to make payments, off SNAP,” said Alex Adams, assistant secretary for family support at the Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Children and Families.
