Government Seeks Help from Top Court Following Unsuccessful Attempt to Stop Food Stamp Payment Directive

On Friday, immediately after a federal appeals court decided that the White House needs to fully fund nutritional assistance payments, the White House sought intervention from the nation's highest court in a additional effort to prevent the order.

A short time later, the supreme court released an urgent ruling provisionally halting entire Snap food aid payments, which nearly 42 hundred thousand Americans rely on to put food on the table.

“Government lawyers continue fighting, around the clock, to protect and further the administration's policies,” a senior official stated on social media just after 9:30pm ET.

Administration officials had requested the federal appeals court to stop a judge's order that it provide November’s complete Snap assistance amid a federal closure, and had their request rejected hours later.

The high court’s order followed the White House petitioned a US appellate court this past Friday to halt a court ruling requiring them to issue this month's complete Snap aid amid a US federal government shutdown.

After that request to stop got rejected, the government appealed to the nation's top court in a further bid to block the order to pay for Snap food aid payments.
