Government Appeals to High Court After Failed Bid to Stop Food Stamp Payment Order
Last Friday, shortly after a national appellate court decided that the White House is required to fully fund Snap food aid disbursements, the White House sought intervention from the US top court in a further effort to halt the directive.
A short time later, the supreme court issued an emergency order temporarily blocking entire food stamp benefits, which close to 42 thousand individuals count on to put food on the table.
“Our attorneys persist in working, day and night, to support and promote the administration's priorities,” a senior official stated on digital channels around 9:30pm ET.
White House staff had petitioned the appellate court to overturn a judge's order requiring them to distribute the upcoming entire food stamp assistance during a US federal government shutdown, and had their request rejected hours later.
The High Court Issues Emergency Order Blocking Full Nutrition Assistance Payments
The high court’s decision came after the government petitioned a federal appeals court on Friday to stop a judicial directive requiring them to provide the upcoming full monthly Snap aid amid a US federal government shutdown.
Following that petition to halt faced refusal, the White House turned to the supreme court in a additional bid to block the ruling to completely finance Snap food aid payments.
