Government Turns to High Court Following Failed Attempt to Stop Food Stamp Payment Order
This past Friday, just moments after a national appellate court ruled that the administration needs to completely finance nutritional assistance benefits, the administration sought intervention from the US top court in a further attempt to halt the order.
A short time later, the top US court released an emergency order immediately suspending full Snap food aid payments, which close to 42 million people count on to buy groceries.
“Our attorneys persist in working, continuously, to support and promote the administration's priorities,” the top legal officer stated on online platforms around 9:30pm in Washington.
Government representatives had asked the US appeals court to stop a judge's order requiring them to distribute November’s entire nutritional payments amid a US federal government shutdown, and faced refusal later the same day.
