White House Turns to High Court After Unsuccessful Attempt to Stop Snap Payment Order
Last Friday, just moments following a US appeals court ruled that the White House needs to fully fund nutritional assistance payments, the administration appealed to the nation's highest court in a further attempt to prevent the ruling.
A short time later, the supreme court handed down an urgent ruling immediately suspending complete Snap food aid benefits, which approximately 42 million people depend on to put food on the table.
“Legal counsel continue battling, around the clock, to protect and further the administration's agenda,” the top legal officer stated on digital channels shortly after 9:30pm in Washington.
Government representatives had requested the appellate court to overturn a judicial decision requiring them to provide November’s full monthly nutritional payments amid a government funding lapse, and was denied hours later.
The High Court Releases Urgent Ruling Halting Entire Snap Food Aid Benefits
The supreme court's order came after the government asked a national appeals court on Friday to block a judge’s order requiring them to provide November’s full monthly Snap assistance throughout a federal closure.
Following that petition to halt faced refusal, the administration turned to the high court in a new bid to halt the ruling to pay for food stamp benefits.
