Government Appeals to Supreme Court Following Unsuccessful Bid to Stop Food Stamp Payment Directive
Last Friday, immediately after a US appeals court decided that the government must completely finance nutritional assistance benefits, the federal government turned to the nation's highest court in a additional bid to block the order.
Within hours, the top US court released an temporary injunction temporarily blocking complete nutrition assistance benefits, which approximately 42 million people depend on to feed their families.
“Our attorneys persist in battling, around the clock, to defend and advance our policies,” the top legal officer announced on online platforms around 9:30pm ET.
Administration officials had asked the federal appeals court to overturn a judicial decision requiring them to issue the upcoming full monthly food stamp benefits during a government funding lapse, and was denied hours later.
The High Court Grants Urgent Ruling Blocking Entire Food Stamp Disbursements
The high court’s decision came after the White House petitioned a federal appeals court last Friday to stop a court ruling that it provide this month's complete food stamp benefits throughout a US federal government shutdown.
Following that petition to stop was denied, the government sought help from the nation's top court in a new bid to prevent the directive to completely finance Snap food aid payments.
