Government Seeks Help from Supreme Court Following Failed Attempt to Block Food Stamp Aid Directive
This past Friday, shortly following a national appellate court determined that the government must pay for nutritional assistance benefits, the White House appealed to the supreme court in a new bid to block the order.
A short time later, the supreme court issued an emergency order temporarily blocking full nutrition assistance payments, which close to 42 million Americans count on to buy groceries.
“Our attorneys persist in battling, day and night, to support and promote our priorities,” the attorney general declared on social media around 9:30pm ET.
Administration officials had requested the appellate court to overturn a court ruling mandating they distribute the upcoming entire nutritional benefits in the middle of a US federal government shutdown, and faced refusal later the same day.
The High Court Grants Emergency Order Halting Full Snap Food Aid Payments
The high court’s ruling followed the government petitioned a national appeals court last Friday to block a judge’s order requiring them to provide this month's complete food stamp aid amid a US federal government shutdown.
Subsequent to that appeal to stop got rejected, the administration turned to the nation's top court in a further bid to halt the order to pay for food stamp benefits.
