White House Seeks Help from Supreme Court Following Unsuccessful Attempt to Block Snap Payment Order
On Friday, shortly after a federal appeals court ruled that the government needs to pay for food stamp disbursements, the White House sought intervention from the nation's highest court in a additional effort to halt the order.
A short time later, the supreme court released an urgent ruling temporarily blocking complete food stamp benefits, which approximately 42 million individuals depend on to buy groceries.
“Our attorneys continue fighting, continuously, to support and promote the president's agenda,” the top legal officer stated on digital channels shortly after 9:30pm in Washington.
White House staff had petitioned the US appeals court to stop a judicial decision mandating they distribute this month's full monthly nutritional benefits in the middle of a US federal government shutdown, and faced refusal that afternoon.
US Supreme Court Releases Urgent Ruling Halting Full Snap Food Aid Payments
The top court's order followed the government asked a federal appeals court last Friday to block a judge’s order requiring them to issue November’s entire Snap benefits throughout a US federal government shutdown.
After that request to block was denied, the administration turned to the supreme court in a additional effort to halt the order to completely finance food stamp disbursements.
