Government Seeks Help from High Court After Failed Bid to Halt Snap Aid Directive
On Friday, just moments after a US appeals court decided that the administration is required to pay for Snap food aid disbursements, the White House sought intervention from the supreme court in a additional attempt to halt the order.
Not long after, the top US court handed down an emergency order immediately suspending full food stamp funds, which approximately 42 hundred thousand Americans depend on to feed their families.
“Our attorneys will not stop working, around the clock, to defend and advance our priorities,” the attorney general announced on digital channels shortly after 9:30pm ET.
White House staff had requested the federal appeals court to overturn a court ruling mandating they provide this month's complete food stamp assistance during a US federal government shutdown, and had their request rejected later the same day.
US Supreme Court Grants Emergency Order Stopping Entire Food Stamp Disbursements
The high court’s ruling came after the administration petitioned a US appellate court on Friday to halt a court ruling mandating they distribute this month's complete food stamp assistance throughout a federal closure.
Following that petition to halt faced refusal, the White House appealed to the supreme court in a additional attempt to prevent the directive to completely finance food stamp disbursements.
