Administration Seeks Help from Supreme Court Following Unsuccessful Bid to Stop Snap Payment Directive
This past Friday, immediately following a federal appeals court determined that the administration must completely finance food stamp benefits, the White House appealed to the supreme court in a further effort to halt the order.
A short time later, the highest court handed down an urgent ruling immediately suspending complete nutrition assistance payments, which close to 42 hundred thousand Americans depend on to put food on the table.
“Our attorneys continue working, around the clock, to defend and advance the administration's priorities,” the top legal officer announced on social media shortly after 9:30pm in Washington.
Government representatives had asked the US appeals court to stop a court ruling that it distribute the upcoming complete food stamp payments during a US federal government shutdown, and had their request rejected hours later.
The High Court Grants Temporary Injunction Blocking Entire Nutrition Assistance Disbursements
The supreme court's order came after the government asked a US appellate court this past Friday to block a court ruling that it issue this month's complete food stamp aid throughout a US federal government shutdown.
Subsequent to that appeal to halt faced refusal, the White House turned to the high court in a further effort to prevent the ruling to completely finance Snap food aid payments.
