Administration Seeks Help from Top Court Following Unsuccessful Bid to Stop Food Stamp Payment Directive

On Friday, shortly after a US appeals court decided that the government must pay for nutritional assistance benefits, the White House appealed to the supreme court in a additional attempt to block the order.

Not long after, the top US court issued an urgent ruling immediately suspending full Snap food aid benefits, which approximately 42 million Americans rely on to feed their families.

“Government lawyers continue fighting, continuously, to protect and further the president's agenda,” the attorney general declared on social media just after 9:30pm in Washington.

White House staff had requested the appellate court to overturn a court ruling mandating they provide this month's full monthly nutritional payments amid a government funding lapse, and faced refusal that afternoon.
