Administration Appeals to Supreme Court After Failed Bid to Block Food Stamp Aid Directive
This past Friday, just moments following a federal appeals court ruled that the administration is required to completely finance Snap food aid disbursements, the administration turned to the supreme court in a further attempt to prevent the order.
Within hours, the top US court issued an temporary injunction immediately suspending entire nutrition assistance benefits, which close to 42 million individuals count on to put food on the table.
“Our attorneys persist in battling, day and night, to defend and advance our policies,” a senior official declared on digital channels shortly after 9:30pm in Washington.
White House staff had asked the federal appeals court to stop a court ruling requiring them to distribute the upcoming full monthly food stamp payments during a government funding lapse, and was denied later the same day.
The High Court Releases Temporary Injunction Blocking Full Snap Food Aid Disbursements
The high court’s order was issued after the White House petitioned a federal appeals court this past Friday to block a court ruling that it distribute November’s entire Snap aid throughout a government funding lapse.
