White House Appeals to Supreme Court Following Unsuccessful Bid to Halt Snap Payment Directive
This past Friday, just moments after a federal appeals court decided that the government must fully fund Snap food aid benefits, the federal government turned to the US top court in a additional effort to block the directive.
Within hours, the supreme court issued an emergency order provisionally halting entire nutrition assistance funds, which approximately 42 thousand Americans count on to buy groceries.
“Legal counsel continue working, around the clock, to protect and further the president's agenda,” the top legal officer stated on online platforms shortly after 9:30pm ET.
Government representatives had petitioned the federal appeals court to block a judge's order that it issue the upcoming entire Snap assistance during a US federal government shutdown, and faced refusal later the same day.
US Supreme Court Grants Emergency Order Halting Full Food Stamp Benefits
The high court’s ruling came after the administration petitioned a US appellate court last Friday to block a judge’s order mandating they distribute this month's entire nutritional benefits amid a US federal government shutdown.
Following that petition to stop faced refusal, the government appealed to the high court in a new attempt to prevent the directive to pay for nutrition assistance disbursements.
