Administration Appeals to Supreme Court Following Unsuccessful Attempt to Halt Food Stamp Aid Directive
Last Friday, immediately after a federal appeals court decided that the government needs to completely finance nutritional assistance benefits, the federal government appealed to the supreme court in a new attempt to block the directive.
Not long after, the top US court released an emergency order provisionally halting complete food stamp payments, which approximately 42 thousand individuals rely on to feed their families.
“Government lawyers continue fighting, continuously, to defend and advance our agenda,” the top legal officer stated on online platforms just after 9:30pm in Washington.
Government representatives had asked the federal appeals court to block a court ruling requiring them to provide this month's entire food stamp benefits in the middle of a US federal government shutdown, and was denied later the same day.
US Supreme Court Grants Temporary Injunction Stopping Entire Food Stamp Disbursements
The supreme court's decision came after the White House asked a national appeals court this past Friday to stop a judge’s order that it distribute the upcoming full monthly food stamp aid during a US federal government shutdown.
After that request to stop was denied, the government appealed to the supreme court in a further effort to halt the ruling to completely finance food stamp disbursements.
