Government Appeals to Top Court After Unsuccessful Bid to Halt Snap Aid Order

On Friday, immediately following a national appellate court decided that the government is required to pay for nutritional assistance payments, the White House sought intervention from the US top court in a further attempt to block the directive.

Within hours, the highest court released an urgent ruling provisionally halting entire food stamp payments, which nearly 42 hundred thousand people rely on to buy groceries.

“Our attorneys will not stop battling, around the clock, to protect and further the president's priorities,” the attorney general declared on social media shortly after 9:30pm local time.

Administration officials had petitioned the appellate court to overturn a judicial decision mandating they distribute November’s complete food stamp payments amid a federal closure, and was denied that afternoon.

America's Top Court Grants Emergency Order Stopping Full Snap Food Aid Benefits

The supreme court's decision came after the White House petitioned a US appellate court last Friday to halt a court ruling that it distribute November’s entire nutritional benefits throughout a government funding lapse.

After that request to stop was denied, the administration sought help from the nation's top court in a new attempt to halt the order to completely finance nutrition assistance payments.
