Administration Appeals to High Court After Failed Attempt to Stop Snap Payment Directive
This past Friday, shortly following a US appeals court ruled that the White House must fully fund nutritional assistance disbursements, the federal government sought intervention from the nation's highest court in a additional effort to halt the ruling.
Not long after, the supreme court handed down an urgent ruling provisionally halting full food stamp benefits, which approximately 42 thousand individuals rely on to put food on the table.
“Government lawyers will not stop working, day and night, to defend and advance the administration's priorities,” a senior official declared on online platforms just after 9:30pm local time.
Government representatives had requested the appellate court to block a court ruling mandating they distribute this month's entire food stamp payments in the middle of a government funding lapse, and had their request rejected later the same day.
US Supreme Court Releases Emergency Order Stopping Entire Nutrition Assistance Benefits
The supreme court's ruling came after the White House petitioned a federal appeals court this past Friday to halt a judicial directive mandating they issue November’s complete Snap aid amid a government funding lapse.
After that request to stop was denied, the administration turned to the high court in a new bid to halt the ruling to completely finance food stamp benefits.
