White House Turns to Supreme Court Following Failed Bid to Halt Snap Aid Directive
This past Friday, immediately following a national appellate court decided that the government needs to pay for Snap food aid benefits, the administration turned to the nation's highest court in a additional effort to halt the ruling.
Not long after, the top US court released an urgent ruling provisionally halting entire food stamp payments, which close to 42 hundred thousand Americans rely on to buy groceries.
“Legal counsel will not stop working, around the clock, to defend and advance our policies,” the attorney general declared on online platforms around 9:30pm ET.
Administration officials had asked the appellate court to block a court ruling requiring them to distribute the upcoming full monthly Snap benefits in the middle of a government funding lapse, and had their request rejected later the same day.
US Supreme Court Releases Temporary Injunction Halting Entire Food Stamp Payments
The high court’s ruling was issued after the administration requested a national appeals court last Friday to halt a court ruling requiring them to provide the upcoming entire food stamp aid amid a federal closure.
Subsequent to that appeal to block was denied, the government appealed to the supreme court in a new attempt to halt the order to pay for food stamp disbursements.
