Administration Seeks Help from Top Court After Failed Bid to Stop Food Stamp Aid Directive
This past Friday, just moments after a federal appeals court determined that the White House is required to completely finance nutritional assistance payments, the administration appealed to the supreme court in a new effort to halt the order.
Within hours, the top US court handed down an emergency order temporarily blocking complete Snap food aid funds, which approximately 42 hundred thousand people depend on to buy groceries.
“Our attorneys persist in fighting, day and night, to defend and advance the president's agenda,” the top legal officer stated on social media shortly after 9:30pm ET.
Government representatives had petitioned the appellate court to block a judicial decision that it provide this month's full monthly Snap benefits during a government funding lapse, and had their request rejected that afternoon.
The High Court Releases Temporary Injunction Halting Full Snap Food Aid Disbursements
The high court’s decision followed the government petitioned a US appellate court last Friday to block a court ruling requiring them to distribute the upcoming full monthly food stamp aid throughout a federal closure.
After that request to halt got rejected, the government turned to the nation's top court in a further bid to block the directive to fully fund food stamp disbursements.
