Administration Appeals to Supreme Court After Failed Attempt to Stop Food Stamp Payment Directive
On Friday, shortly following a US appeals court determined that the administration is required to fully fund Snap food aid disbursements, the White House appealed to the US top court in a new effort to prevent the directive.
Not long after, the top US court issued an urgent ruling provisionally halting complete food stamp funds, which close to 42 thousand people count on to feed their families.
“Government lawyers will not stop battling, day and night, to support and promote the administration's priorities,” a senior official announced on online platforms shortly after 9:30pm local time.
Administration officials had petitioned the appellate court to stop a judicial decision requiring them to distribute November’s entire Snap payments amid a federal closure, and had their request rejected later the same day.
US Supreme Court Issues Emergency Order Blocking Complete Food Stamp Disbursements
The top court's order was issued after the White House requested a national appeals court on Friday to stop a judicial directive that it distribute November’s entire Snap aid throughout a federal closure.
Following that petition to halt faced refusal, the administration turned to the supreme court in a further bid to prevent the order to completely finance nutrition assistance benefits.
