Government Turns to Top Court Following Unsuccessful Attempt to Stop Food Stamp Aid Order
On Friday, shortly after a US appeals court determined that the administration is required to completely finance Snap food aid payments, the federal government sought intervention from the nation's highest court in a new bid to block the directive.
A short time later, the top US court issued an urgent ruling immediately suspending full food stamp funds, which approximately 42 hundred thousand people rely on to feed their families.
“Our attorneys will not stop working, around the clock, to protect and further our priorities,” a senior official announced on digital channels around 9:30pm in Washington.
Government representatives had requested the appellate court to overturn a judicial decision requiring them to provide November’s entire Snap benefits during a US federal government shutdown, and faced refusal that afternoon.
US Supreme Court Grants Urgent Ruling Stopping Full Snap Food Aid Disbursements
The top court's decision was issued after the government petitioned a US appellate court last Friday to halt a judicial directive requiring them to provide the upcoming complete Snap assistance throughout a federal closure.
Following that petition to block got rejected, the White House sought help from the high court in a further effort to halt the directive to fully fund Snap food aid payments.
