White House Turns to Supreme Court After Unsuccessful Bid to Halt Food Stamp Payment Order

Last Friday, just moments after a US appeals court determined that the White House needs to completely finance nutritional assistance benefits, the federal government turned to the supreme court in a new bid to block the directive.

Within hours, the highest court handed down an temporary injunction immediately suspending complete food stamp benefits, which close to 42 million Americans depend on to put food on the table.

“Legal counsel continue working, continuously, to defend and advance the administration's policies,” a senior official announced on digital channels shortly after 9:30pm ET.

Government representatives had petitioned the appellate court to overturn a judge's order requiring them to issue the upcoming entire nutritional assistance during a federal closure, and was denied hours later.

US Supreme Court Issues Urgent Ruling Blocking Full Food Stamp Disbursements

The high court’s order came after the government asked a US appellate court last Friday to stop a court ruling mandating they issue the upcoming entire nutritional aid throughout a federal closure.

After that request to block faced refusal, the White House sought help from the nation's top court in a additional effort to block the directive to fully fund Snap food aid payments.
