I agree with this proposed action
 

I agree with this proposed action. After studying SNAP as part of a graduate school class assignment it was brought to my attention that the current SNAP benefits most receive do not even last them the entire month. To ensure people continue to pay child support and to make sure they receive hopefully enough benefits, the support amount paid should be excluded from countable income.
