Government Appeals to Supreme Court Following Unsuccessful Bid to Stop Snap Aid Directive
This past Friday, immediately following a US appeals court decided that the government must completely finance food stamp payments, the federal government sought intervention from the US top court in a additional attempt to block the order.
Within hours, the highest court handed down an emergency order temporarily blocking complete nutrition assistance payments, which approximately 42 thousand individuals rely on to put food on the table.
“Our attorneys persist in working, around the clock, to support and promote the administration's policies,” the attorney general announced on digital channels shortly after 9:30pm in Washington.
Government representatives had petitioned the US appeals court to block a judicial decision mandating they provide the upcoming complete food stamp assistance amid a government funding lapse, and was denied later the same day.
US Supreme Court Grants Urgent Ruling Stopping Complete Food Stamp Payments
The high court’s ruling was issued after the administration requested a US appellate court this past Friday to halt a judge’s order that it issue November’s full monthly Snap benefits amid a government funding lapse.
Subsequent to that appeal to stop was denied, the government sought help from the high court in a additional attempt to halt the ruling to fully fund Snap food aid disbursements.
