Administration Appeals to Top Court Following Unsuccessful Attempt to Stop Snap Payment Order
On Friday, immediately following a federal appeals court decided that the White House needs to pay for Snap food aid benefits, the White House turned to the nation's highest court in a further effort to halt the directive.
Within hours, the highest court issued an emergency order temporarily blocking entire Snap food aid funds, which approximately 42 million people depend on to put food on the table.
“Government lawyers persist in fighting, day and night, to support and promote the administration's agenda,” the attorney general announced on online platforms just after 9:30pm ET.
Government representatives had asked the appellate court to stop a court ruling mandating they distribute this month's entire Snap benefits amid a government funding lapse, and faced refusal that afternoon.
America's Top Court Issues Emergency Order Halting Full Food Stamp Benefits
The top court's decision followed the government requested a US appellate court last Friday to stop a court ruling mandating they issue this month's full monthly food stamp aid amid a government funding lapse.
Subsequent to that appeal to stop got rejected, the government sought help from the nation's top court in a new effort to block the directive to fully fund Snap food aid benefits.
