Administration Seeks Help from Top Court Following Failed Attempt to Stop Food Stamp Aid Order
Last Friday, immediately following a national appellate court ruled that the administration must completely finance Snap food aid payments, the White House turned to the US top court in a further attempt to prevent the order.
A short time later, the highest court handed down an emergency order temporarily blocking entire food stamp benefits, which nearly 42 million people count on to feed their families.
“Our attorneys will not stop fighting, continuously, to defend and advance our priorities,” a senior official announced on social media shortly after 9:30pm ET.
Administration officials had petitioned the appellate court to block a court ruling mandating they issue November’s complete Snap benefits in the middle of a government funding lapse, and faced refusal later the same day.
