Administration Appeals to Supreme Court After Failed Bid to Block Snap Payment Directive
On Friday, immediately after a US appeals court determined that the government is required to fully fund food stamp disbursements, the administration appealed to the nation's highest court in a additional attempt to halt the directive.
Not long after, the highest court issued an emergency order provisionally halting entire nutrition assistance benefits, which nearly 42 million Americans count on to buy groceries.
“Legal counsel continue fighting, around the clock, to defend and advance the administration's priorities,” the top legal officer declared on social media just after 9:30pm ET.
White House staff had asked the federal appeals court to stop a court ruling mandating they issue the upcoming full monthly Snap assistance amid a federal closure, and faced refusal later the same day.
US Supreme Court Grants Emergency Order Blocking Entire Snap Food Aid Benefits
The supreme court's ruling followed the government requested a federal appeals court last Friday to stop a judicial directive that it distribute the upcoming complete nutritional benefits throughout a federal closure.
Following that petition to block got rejected, the administration turned to the high court in a new bid to prevent the order to pay for nutrition assistance benefits.
