Administration Seeks Help from High Court Following Failed Bid to Halt Snap Payment Directive
This past Friday, shortly following a US appeals court decided that the White House needs to pay for Snap food aid benefits, the federal government turned to the US top court in a new effort to prevent the directive.
Within hours, the top US court handed down an temporary injunction immediately suspending full Snap food aid benefits, which close to 42 hundred thousand individuals count on to buy groceries.
“Legal counsel continue battling, around the clock, to protect and further the president's policies,” the top legal officer declared on social media just after 9:30pm in Washington.
White House staff had requested the federal appeals court to stop a judicial decision mandating they provide this month's entire food stamp benefits during a US federal government shutdown, and faced refusal later the same day.
US Supreme Court Grants Emergency Order Stopping Entire Food Stamp Benefits
The high court’s ruling came after the government requested a federal appeals court this past Friday to halt a judicial directive requiring them to distribute November’s complete Snap aid amid a US federal government shutdown.
After that request to block faced refusal, the White House sought help from the supreme court in a further bid to prevent the order to fully fund Snap food aid benefits.
