White House Turns to High Court Following Unsuccessful Attempt to Halt Food Stamp Payment Order

Last Friday, immediately following a US appeals court ruled that the government must completely finance food stamp benefits, the White House appealed to the nation's highest court in a further bid to block the ruling.

Within hours, the supreme court handed down an urgent ruling temporarily blocking full Snap food aid benefits, which close to 42 million individuals depend on to feed their families.

“Government lawyers persist in working, around the clock, to defend and advance the administration's priorities,” a senior official announced on digital channels around 9:30pm local time.

White House staff had requested the US appeals court to overturn a court ruling that it distribute the upcoming full monthly food stamp assistance during a US federal government shutdown, and was denied later the same day.

The High Court Grants Temporary Injunction Blocking Complete Snap Food Aid Disbursements

The high court’s order followed the White House petitioned a US appellate court on Friday to halt a court ruling requiring them to provide November’s complete Snap assistance throughout a government funding lapse.

Following that petition to block got rejected, the administration sought help from the nation's top court in a further effort to halt the directive to pay for nutrition assistance disbursements.
