White House Turns to High Court Following Failed Attempt to Block Food Stamp Payment Order
On Friday, immediately after a federal appeals court decided that the administration needs to completely finance Snap food aid disbursements, the federal government appealed to the US top court in a additional effort to block the ruling.
A short time later, the top US court released an emergency order temporarily blocking full food stamp payments, which nearly 42 thousand individuals rely on to feed their families.
“Government lawyers will not stop fighting, day and night, to support and promote the president's policies,” the attorney general stated on online platforms shortly after 9:30pm ET.
Government representatives had requested the US appeals court to overturn a court ruling that it provide the upcoming entire food stamp assistance in the middle of a government funding lapse, and faced refusal that afternoon.
America's Top Court Issues Urgent Ruling Halting Full Snap Food Aid Benefits
The supreme court's order was issued after the White House requested a national appeals court last Friday to halt a judicial directive requiring them to distribute November’s full monthly food stamp aid during a government funding lapse.
After that request to stop got rejected, the administration appealed to the supreme court in a new attempt to prevent the order to completely finance Snap food aid payments.
