Administration Appeals to Supreme Court Following Unsuccessful Bid to Block Food Stamp Aid Order
On Friday, immediately following a national appellate court decided that the administration must pay for nutritional assistance payments, the federal government sought intervention from the supreme court in a new effort to prevent the ruling.
Within hours, the highest court handed down an temporary injunction temporarily blocking entire nutrition assistance payments, which approximately 42 million individuals count on to buy groceries.
“Government lawyers continue fighting, around the clock, to support and promote our priorities,” the top legal officer stated on digital channels just after 9:30pm local time.
Administration officials had petitioned the US appeals court to block a court ruling that it distribute November’s full monthly Snap assistance during a government funding lapse, and had their request rejected later the same day.
US Supreme Court Issues Emergency Order Blocking Full Snap Food Aid Payments
The high court’s order came after the administration petitioned a US appellate court last Friday to stop a judge’s order that it issue November’s full monthly food stamp assistance throughout a US federal government shutdown.
Subsequent to that appeal to halt faced refusal, the White House appealed to the supreme court in a additional bid to block the order to fully fund nutrition assistance disbursements.
