Administration Appeals to Supreme Court Following Failed Bid to Halt Snap Payment Order
This past Friday, just moments following a US appeals court determined that the government is required to fully fund food stamp payments, the administration sought intervention from the supreme court in a additional bid to block the order.
Not long after, the highest court handed down an emergency order temporarily blocking complete Snap food aid payments, which nearly 42 hundred thousand Americans rely on to put food on the table.
“Our attorneys will not stop battling, continuously, to protect and further the president's priorities,” a senior official declared on online platforms just after 9:30pm local time.
Government representatives had requested the appellate court to overturn a judge's order that it distribute November’s entire Snap payments during a US federal government shutdown, and faced refusal that afternoon.
America's Top Court Grants Temporary Injunction Halting Full Food Stamp Benefits
The supreme court's order was issued after the White House requested a US appellate court this past Friday to stop a judge’s order mandating they distribute this month's full monthly Snap benefits amid a government funding lapse.
After that request to stop got rejected, the administration sought help from the high court in a further effort to prevent the ruling to fully fund Snap food aid benefits.
