White House Seeks Help from Supreme Court After Unsuccessful Bid to Halt Snap Payment Directive
This past Friday, just moments after a federal appeals court ruled that the administration needs to completely finance food stamp payments, the federal government sought intervention from the US top court in a further attempt to prevent the directive.
Within hours, the supreme court released an temporary injunction temporarily blocking entire Snap food aid funds, which close to 42 million Americans count on to feed their families.
“Legal counsel will not stop fighting, around the clock, to protect and further the president's priorities,” the top legal officer stated on digital channels around 9:30pm local time.
Government representatives had asked the federal appeals court to overturn a judge's order that it distribute this month's complete food stamp assistance amid a federal closure, and faced refusal later the same day.
The High Court Grants Temporary Injunction Stopping Full Snap Food Aid Payments
The top court's ruling was issued after the White House asked a US appellate court last Friday to block a court ruling that it provide November’s full monthly Snap benefits during a government funding lapse.
Following that petition to stop faced refusal, the White House turned to the nation's top court in a new effort to block the directive to fully fund food stamp benefits.
