Government Turns to Top Court Following Unsuccessful Bid to Halt Snap Payment Directive
Last Friday, immediately following a US appeals court decided that the government needs to fully fund Snap food aid disbursements, the federal government sought intervention from the supreme court in a additional attempt to block the directive.
Within hours, the highest court released an urgent ruling temporarily blocking full nutrition assistance payments, which nearly 42 hundred thousand individuals depend on to buy groceries.
“Our attorneys will not stop battling, continuously, to defend and advance the president's priorities,” a senior official declared on social media around 9:30pm local time.
Administration officials had asked the US appeals court to block a judge's order requiring them to provide this month's complete nutritional assistance in the middle of a government funding lapse, and faced refusal later the same day.
US Supreme Court Grants Emergency Order Blocking Full Snap Food Aid Benefits
The high court’s decision was issued after the government asked a national appeals court last Friday to halt a judicial directive mandating they issue the upcoming complete food stamp aid during a US federal government shutdown.
Subsequent to that appeal to halt was denied, the government appealed to the high court in a new attempt to halt the directive to fully fund nutrition assistance disbursements.
