White House Appeals to High Court After Unsuccessful Attempt to Halt Food Stamp Aid Directive
This past Friday, just moments following a federal appeals court decided that the administration is required to completely finance Snap food aid payments, the federal government appealed to the supreme court in a further effort to block the ruling.
A short time later, the top US court released an emergency order temporarily blocking complete nutrition assistance benefits, which approximately 42 thousand people depend on to put food on the table.
“Our attorneys persist in working, day and night, to defend and advance the president's policies,” the attorney general stated on digital channels just after 9:30pm local time.
Government representatives had asked the US appeals court to overturn a judicial decision that it issue this month's entire food stamp payments during a federal closure, and was denied hours later.
America's Top Court Releases Urgent Ruling Blocking Full Snap Food Aid Disbursements
The top court's order came after the administration asked a national appeals court this past Friday to block a court ruling mandating they distribute November’s full monthly food stamp assistance during a federal closure.
Following that petition to block was denied, the government sought help from the supreme court in a further bid to prevent the ruling to pay for Snap food aid benefits.
