Administration Seeks Help from High Court After Unsuccessful Attempt to Block Snap Aid Directive
On Friday, shortly after a federal appeals court ruled that the administration is required to completely finance food stamp disbursements, the federal government sought intervention from the supreme court in a new bid to block the directive.
A short time later, the highest court released an temporary injunction temporarily blocking entire Snap food aid benefits, which approximately 42 million individuals rely on to put food on the table.
“Our attorneys persist in working, continuously, to defend and advance our priorities,” the top legal officer announced on social media shortly after 9:30pm local time.
White House staff had asked the federal appeals court to block a judge's order mandating they issue this month's complete nutritional benefits in the middle of a government funding lapse, and was denied later the same day.
The High Court Releases Urgent Ruling Blocking Full Food Stamp Benefits
The top court's order came after the White House requested a US appellate court last Friday to halt a judge’s order requiring them to issue November’s complete Snap benefits amid a government funding lapse.
Subsequent to that appeal to halt got rejected, the White House turned to the supreme court in a new bid to halt the directive to pay for food stamp payments.
