Government Appeals to Supreme Court Following Unsuccessful Bid to Block Food Stamp Aid Directive
On Friday, immediately following a US appeals court determined that the White House must completely finance Snap food aid payments, the federal government turned to the supreme court in a new effort to prevent the directive.
A short time later, the highest court released an urgent ruling immediately suspending full nutrition assistance benefits, which approximately 42 hundred thousand individuals count on to feed their families.
“Legal counsel will not stop battling, day and night, to protect and further the administration's agenda,” the top legal officer declared on digital channels around 9:30pm ET.
Administration officials had requested the US appeals court to stop a judge's order mandating they provide this month's complete Snap payments in the middle of a US federal government shutdown, and had their request rejected hours later.
US Supreme Court Issues Emergency Order Halting Complete Nutrition Assistance Payments
The supreme court's order followed the government requested a US appellate court last Friday to halt a judicial directive requiring them to provide the upcoming complete Snap aid amid a federal closure.
Subsequent to that appeal to halt got rejected, the government turned to the high court in a new bid to halt the order to fully fund food stamp benefits.
