Administration Turns to Supreme Court Following Failed Attempt to Halt Food Stamp Payment Order
Last Friday, just moments following a national appellate court decided that the government needs to completely finance nutritional assistance benefits, the White House turned to the US top court in a additional bid to halt the directive.
Within hours, the highest court handed down an urgent ruling provisionally halting complete Snap food aid payments, which approximately 42 thousand people count on to put food on the table.
“Legal counsel persist in fighting, around the clock, to protect and further our policies,” the attorney general declared on online platforms around 9:30pm in Washington.
Government representatives had asked the appellate court to stop a court ruling mandating they distribute this month's entire nutritional benefits in the middle of a US federal government shutdown, and had their request rejected hours later.
US Supreme Court Releases Emergency Order Blocking Full Snap Food Aid Payments
The high court’s ruling was issued after the government requested a federal appeals court this past Friday to stop a court ruling that it distribute the upcoming complete nutritional benefits amid a federal closure.
After that request to block got rejected, the government turned to the supreme court in a new attempt to halt the ruling to fully fund nutrition assistance disbursements.
