Administration Seeks Help from Supreme Court After Unsuccessful Bid to Block Food Stamp Aid Directive
This past Friday, just moments after a federal appeals court decided that the White House must completely finance nutritional assistance payments, the administration turned to the US top court in a further bid to prevent the order.
Not long after, the top US court released an temporary injunction temporarily blocking entire nutrition assistance benefits, which nearly 42 hundred thousand people rely on to put food on the table.
“Legal counsel continue fighting, continuously, to support and promote the administration's priorities,” the attorney general announced on online platforms just after 9:30pm local time.
Administration officials had petitioned the US appeals court to block a judge's order that it provide this month's entire Snap assistance in the middle of a federal closure, and was denied that afternoon.
US Supreme Court Releases Emergency Order Blocking Full Snap Food Aid Payments
The high court’s ruling was issued after the administration asked a federal appeals court this past Friday to block a judge’s order that it distribute November’s entire Snap benefits during a US federal government shutdown.
Subsequent to that appeal to stop got rejected, the government sought help from the supreme court in a further attempt to prevent the ruling to fully fund Snap food aid payments.
