Administration Seeks Help from Supreme Court After Unsuccessful Bid to Halt Food Stamp Payment Directive
On Friday, shortly after a national appellate court decided that the government needs to pay for nutritional assistance payments, the federal government appealed to the supreme court in a additional attempt to prevent the order.
Not long after, the highest court released an urgent ruling provisionally halting complete Snap food aid funds, which approximately 42 hundred thousand Americans rely on to buy groceries.
“Legal counsel will not stop battling, day and night, to defend and advance the administration's priorities,” a senior official announced on social media just after 9:30pm local time.
Administration officials had requested the appellate court to stop a judicial decision mandating they issue this month's complete nutritional assistance in the middle of a US federal government shutdown, and faced refusal hours later.
The High Court Issues Temporary Injunction Stopping Complete Food Stamp Payments
The top court's order came after the government requested a national appeals court this past Friday to halt a judge’s order that it provide this month's full monthly Snap assistance during a US federal government shutdown.
Subsequent to that appeal to halt was denied, the administration appealed to the high court in a further effort to block the order to pay for Snap food aid benefits.
