Administration Appeals to Top Court After Failed Bid to Stop Snap Aid Order

Last Friday, immediately after a US appeals court ruled that the White House is required to pay for food stamp payments, the administration turned to the nation's highest court in a further attempt to prevent the order.

A short time later, the top US court released an temporary injunction provisionally halting entire Snap food aid benefits, which approximately 42 hundred thousand people rely on to feed their families.

“Our attorneys persist in fighting, continuously, to support and promote our agenda,” the top legal officer declared on social media just after 9:30pm local time.

Administration officials had petitioned the US appeals court to overturn a judicial decision requiring them to distribute this month's full monthly nutritional benefits during a US federal government shutdown, and faced refusal hours later.

America's Top Court Grants Temporary Injunction Halting Full Food Stamp Payments

The high court’s order came after the White House requested a federal appeals court this past Friday to block a court ruling mandating they issue the upcoming entire nutritional aid throughout a federal closure.

Subsequent to that appeal to halt was denied, the government turned to the supreme court in a new effort to block the ruling to pay for Snap food aid disbursements.
