Government Seeks Help from Top Court Following Failed Bid to Block Snap Payment Order
Last Friday, immediately following a federal appeals court ruled that the government needs to fully fund Snap food aid disbursements, the federal government sought intervention from the nation's highest court in a additional bid to prevent the directive.
A short time later, the top US court released an urgent ruling temporarily blocking full food stamp funds, which nearly 42 thousand people rely on to buy groceries.
“Government lawyers continue battling, around the clock, to protect and further our agenda,” a senior official stated on social media just after 9:30pm local time.
Government representatives had asked the appellate court to overturn a court ruling requiring them to provide this month's full monthly nutritional assistance during a government funding lapse, and had their request rejected later the same day.
US Supreme Court Issues Temporary Injunction Halting Full Nutrition Assistance Payments
The high court’s ruling came after the White House asked a US appellate court last Friday to stop a judge’s order mandating they distribute this month's entire nutritional aid amid a government funding lapse.
After that request to block was denied, the administration turned to the supreme court in a additional attempt to halt the directive to fully fund nutrition assistance benefits.
