Administration Seeks Help from Supreme Court Following Failed Attempt to Stop Snap Payment Order

Last Friday, just moments after a federal appeals court decided that the government needs to completely finance Snap food aid payments, the White House appealed to the nation's highest court in a further effort to halt the directive.

Not long after, the highest court issued an emergency order temporarily blocking full food stamp payments, which close to 42 hundred thousand people depend on to put food on the table.

“Legal counsel persist in working, continuously, to defend and advance our policies,” the top legal officer stated on social media just after 9:30pm local time.

Government representatives had requested the US appeals court to overturn a court ruling that it distribute the upcoming entire nutritional payments during a US federal government shutdown, and faced refusal later the same day.

The top court's decision came after the administration petitioned a federal appeals court this past Friday to halt a judge’s order requiring them to provide November’s full monthly nutritional benefits during a government funding lapse.

Following that petition to halt faced refusal, the White House sought help from the high court in a further bid to block the directive to pay for food stamp payments.
