White House Turns to Top Court Following Failed Bid to Stop Food Stamp Aid Order
This past Friday, just moments after a national appellate court decided that the administration needs to completely finance Snap food aid benefits, the administration sought intervention from the US top court in a new effort to prevent the directive.
A short time later, the top US court issued an urgent ruling immediately suspending complete Snap food aid funds, which approximately 42 thousand individuals count on to buy groceries.
“Our attorneys persist in battling, continuously, to support and promote the president's priorities,” the attorney general announced on online platforms shortly after 9:30pm in Washington.
Administration officials had petitioned the federal appeals court to stop a court ruling mandating they distribute November’s complete Snap payments in the middle of a government funding lapse, and had their request rejected hours later.
The High Court Issues Urgent Ruling Stopping Full Snap Food Aid Benefits
The supreme court's ruling came after the government petitioned a national appeals court this past Friday to stop a judge’s order that it issue this month's full monthly nutritional assistance during a federal closure.
Following that petition to block got rejected, the White House appealed to the high court in a new effort to halt the directive to fully fund nutrition assistance benefits.
