Administration Appeals to Top Court After Failed Attempt to Halt Snap Aid Order
This past Friday, immediately following a US appeals court ruled that the White House is required to pay for food stamp payments, the federal government turned to the US top court in a further bid to prevent the order.
Within hours, the highest court handed down an temporary injunction temporarily blocking complete Snap food aid benefits, which close to 42 million individuals count on to put food on the table.
“Government lawyers continue fighting, around the clock, to support and promote our policies,” the attorney general announced on social media just after 9:30pm ET.
White House staff had asked the appellate court to overturn a judge's order requiring them to issue November’s full monthly nutritional payments during a US federal government shutdown, and was denied later the same day.

The top court's ruling followed the White House asked a national appeals court last Friday to block a judge’s order requiring them to provide November’s full monthly Snap assistance during a federal closure.
After that request to block was denied, the White House turned to the nation's top court in a additional effort to prevent the ruling to fully fund food stamp disbursements.
