White House Seeks Help from Top Court After Failed Attempt to Block Snap Payment Order
Last Friday, shortly after a US appeals court determined that the administration needs to fully fund nutritional assistance payments, the administration turned to the supreme court in a further bid to prevent the directive.
A short time later, the top US court issued an urgent ruling immediately suspending entire Snap food aid funds, which approximately 42 thousand Americans rely on to put food on the table.
“Legal counsel continue battling, around the clock, to defend and advance our agenda,” the attorney general declared on online platforms shortly after 9:30pm ET.
Government representatives had requested the federal appeals court to block a judicial decision that it provide November’s full monthly Snap payments in the middle of a government funding lapse, and was denied that afternoon.

The top court's order followed the government petitioned a national appeals court this past Friday to halt a court ruling mandating they distribute November’s entire Snap aid amid a federal closure.
Following that petition to block got rejected, the government turned to the supreme court in a additional attempt to halt the ruling to pay for food stamp disbursements.
