Government Seeks Help from Supreme Court After Failed Attempt to Halt Food Stamp Payment Order
Last Friday, immediately after a US appeals court ruled that the government must completely finance nutritional assistance disbursements, the federal government turned to the supreme court in a further bid to block the ruling.
Within hours, the supreme court handed down an urgent ruling immediately suspending complete food stamp benefits, which approximately 42 thousand people rely on to put food on the table.
“Government lawyers continue fighting, around the clock, to protect and further the administration's priorities,” the attorney general declared on digital channels shortly after 9:30pm in Washington.
Government representatives had asked the appellate court to block a judicial decision requiring them to provide November’s entire food stamp benefits in the middle of a federal closure, and was denied hours later.
The High Court Issues Urgent Ruling Stopping Entire Nutrition Assistance Benefits
The top court's ruling was issued after the administration asked a national appeals court on Friday to block a judicial directive that it distribute the upcoming full monthly Snap aid amid a government funding lapse.
After that request to halt was denied, the White House sought help from the high court in a additional effort to prevent the order to completely finance food stamp benefits.
