Government Seeks Help from Supreme Court After Failed Bid to Block Snap Aid Order
This past Friday, just moments following a federal appeals court ruled that the administration is required to pay for Snap food aid payments, the White House sought intervention from the nation's highest court in a further attempt to prevent the ruling.
Within hours, the top US court issued an temporary injunction provisionally halting complete Snap food aid funds, which nearly 42 thousand Americans depend on to buy groceries.
“Legal counsel persist in battling, around the clock, to protect and further our priorities,” the top legal officer declared on social media shortly after 9:30pm in Washington.
Government representatives had petitioned the US appeals court to overturn a judicial decision mandating they distribute November’s complete Snap assistance amid a government funding lapse, and had their request rejected that afternoon.
The High Court Grants Temporary Injunction Stopping Full Food Stamp Disbursements
The high court’s order came after the administration requested a national appeals court this past Friday to stop a court ruling that it provide November’s entire food stamp benefits throughout a government funding lapse.
Following that petition to block was denied, the administration appealed to the high court in a additional bid to block the directive to completely finance nutrition assistance benefits.
