Administration Appeals to Supreme Court After Failed Bid to Stop Snap Aid Directive
On Friday, just moments following a national appellate court decided that the administration must completely finance food stamp payments, the White House turned to the supreme court in a new effort to block the ruling.
Not long after, the supreme court handed down an urgent ruling immediately suspending entire nutrition assistance payments, which approximately 42 million people count on to put food on the table.
“Legal counsel persist in working, continuously, to protect and further our priorities,” a senior official stated on digital channels just after 9:30pm in Washington.
White House staff had asked the US appeals court to block a judge's order requiring them to provide this month's complete Snap assistance amid a government funding lapse, and was denied hours later.
The High Court Grants Urgent Ruling Blocking Complete Snap Food Aid Payments
The high court’s decision was issued after the government petitioned a national appeals court on Friday to block a court ruling that it distribute the upcoming full monthly food stamp assistance throughout a US federal government shutdown.
Following that petition to block got rejected, the government sought help from the nation's top court in a new effort to halt the order to completely finance nutrition assistance disbursements.
