Government Turns to Top Court Following Unsuccessful Bid to Halt Food Stamp Payment Order
This past Friday, just moments following a national appellate court decided that the government must fully fund Snap food aid payments, the White House sought intervention from the supreme court in a further attempt to halt the ruling.
Within hours, the top US court released an urgent ruling immediately suspending entire Snap food aid payments, which approximately 42 thousand Americans rely on to put food on the table.
“Legal counsel persist in battling, around the clock, to support and promote the president's priorities,” the attorney general stated on online platforms just after 9:30pm ET.
Administration officials had requested the US appeals court to stop a judge's order that it issue the upcoming full monthly nutritional assistance amid a government funding lapse, and was denied that afternoon.

The supreme court's decision followed the government requested a US appellate court on Friday to block a judicial directive mandating they issue this month's entire food stamp benefits during a government funding lapse.
After that request to halt was denied, the White House appealed to the high court in a new attempt to prevent the order to fully fund nutrition assistance disbursements.
