Government Turns to High Court Following Unsuccessful Attempt to Halt Food Stamp Aid Directive
This past Friday, shortly following a federal appeals court decided that the administration must pay for Snap food aid payments, the White House appealed to the US top court in a new effort to prevent the directive.
A short time later, the highest court released an urgent ruling immediately suspending full nutrition assistance payments, which nearly 42 thousand individuals count on to feed their families.
“Government lawyers continue working, around the clock, to support and promote our policies,” the top legal officer stated on social media shortly after 9:30pm local time.
White House staff had requested the federal appeals court to overturn a judicial decision requiring them to distribute November’s full monthly food stamp payments in the middle of a government funding lapse, and had their request rejected hours later.
The High Court Releases Emergency Order Stopping Complete Snap Food Aid Disbursements
The supreme court's ruling was issued after the government asked a US appellate court last Friday to stop a court ruling requiring them to provide the upcoming complete food stamp aid throughout a US federal government shutdown.
Subsequent to that appeal to halt was denied, the government appealed to the nation's top court in a new effort to block the ruling to pay for nutrition assistance disbursements.
