White House Seeks Help from High Court After Failed Attempt to Halt Snap Payment Order
On Friday, just moments following a federal appeals court decided that the administration needs to fully fund nutritional assistance benefits, the administration sought intervention from the supreme court in a additional effort to block the ruling.
Not long after, the supreme court released an emergency order provisionally halting entire Snap food aid funds, which nearly 42 million individuals count on to buy groceries.
“Our attorneys continue working, continuously, to defend and advance our agenda,” the attorney general declared on online platforms shortly after 9:30pm in Washington.
Administration officials had asked the US appeals court to stop a judicial decision that it issue this month's entire nutritional payments during a government funding lapse, and was denied hours later.
The High Court Grants Urgent Ruling Stopping Complete Food Stamp Payments
The high court’s decision came after the White House asked a federal appeals court last Friday to stop a judge’s order that it provide the upcoming complete Snap aid amid a federal closure.
After that request to stop was denied, the administration appealed to the supreme court in a further bid to block the ruling to pay for food stamp benefits.
