White House Appeals to Supreme Court After Unsuccessful Bid to Halt Food Stamp Aid Directive
On Friday, just moments following a US appeals court decided that the government needs to pay for Snap food aid benefits, the White House sought intervention from the US top court in a further effort to prevent the ruling.
Not long after, the highest court released an urgent ruling immediately suspending full food stamp funds, which approximately 42 hundred thousand individuals depend on to buy groceries.
“Government lawyers will not stop fighting, day and night, to support and promote our policies,” a senior official announced on online platforms around 9:30pm in Washington.
Administration officials had requested the federal appeals court to overturn a judge's order mandating they issue November’s full monthly food stamp benefits during a federal closure, and had their request rejected later the same day.
The High Court Issues Emergency Order Halting Entire Food Stamp Disbursements
The high court’s ruling came after the administration asked a national appeals court this past Friday to stop a judicial directive that it provide November’s entire Snap aid throughout a government funding lapse.
Following that petition to stop was denied, the government sought help from the nation's top court in a additional bid to halt the directive to completely finance nutrition assistance payments.
