Administration Seeks Help from Supreme Court After Unsuccessful Attempt to Block Snap Payment Directive

On Friday, just moments following a federal appeals court decided that the administration is required to fully fund Snap food aid payments, the White House sought intervention from the nation's highest court in a further bid to block the directive.

Not long after, the highest court handed down an urgent ruling immediately suspending complete food stamp funds, which nearly 42 thousand individuals rely on to feed their families.

“Government lawyers will not stop battling, around the clock, to protect and further our priorities,” the attorney general declared on social media shortly after 9:30pm in Washington.

Administration officials had petitioned the federal appeals court to stop a judicial decision mandating they distribute this month's complete nutritional payments amid a US federal government shutdown, and was denied hours later.

The High Court Releases Emergency Order Stopping Complete Snap Food Aid Payments

The top court's decision came after the White House petitioned a federal appeals court on Friday to halt a judge’s order that it issue the upcoming entire food stamp assistance throughout a federal closure.

After that request to halt faced refusal, the administration turned to the nation's top court in a further attempt to prevent the ruling to pay for Snap food aid disbursements.
