White House Seeks Help from Supreme Court Following Unsuccessful Attempt to Halt Food Stamp Payment Directive
On Friday, immediately following a federal appeals court ruled that the White House needs to completely finance food stamp disbursements, the federal government turned to the US top court in a further effort to block the ruling.
A short time later, the top US court issued an urgent ruling provisionally halting entire Snap food aid payments, which nearly 42 thousand individuals rely on to buy groceries.
“Our attorneys persist in battling, continuously, to defend and advance our policies,” the top legal officer announced on digital channels just after 9:30pm in Washington.
Government representatives had asked the federal appeals court to overturn a judge's order requiring them to issue the upcoming full monthly food stamp payments during a federal closure, and was denied that afternoon.
America's Top Court Issues Urgent Ruling Halting Entire Food Stamp Benefits
The top court's decision came after the government asked a federal appeals court on Friday to stop a court ruling requiring them to provide the upcoming entire food stamp assistance during a government funding lapse.
Following that petition to halt was denied, the administration appealed to the supreme court in a further effort to prevent the ruling to completely finance Snap food aid benefits.
