Administration Appeals to Top Court After Unsuccessful Bid to Stop Snap Aid Order
This past Friday, shortly after a national appellate court decided that the administration must completely finance food stamp payments, the administration sought intervention from the US top court in a further bid to block the order.
Within hours, the highest court handed down an emergency order immediately suspending full Snap food aid funds, which close to 42 hundred thousand people rely on to put food on the table.
“Government lawyers persist in battling, around the clock, to protect and further the president's agenda,” the attorney general stated on online platforms shortly after 9:30pm local time.
Administration officials had petitioned the US appeals court to overturn a court ruling that it provide November’s entire Snap assistance in the middle of a federal closure, and had their request rejected later the same day.
US Supreme Court Issues Urgent Ruling Halting Complete Food Stamp Benefits
The top court's order was issued after the White House requested a federal appeals court on Friday to block a judicial directive mandating they distribute this month's complete Snap benefits amid a federal closure.
After that request to halt was denied, the government sought help from the nation's top court in a further effort to block the directive to pay for Snap food aid disbursements.
