Government Turns to Supreme Court Following Failed Bid to Halt Snap Payment Order
Last Friday, just moments after a US appeals court ruled that the White House needs to pay for nutritional assistance payments, the federal government appealed to the US top court in a additional attempt to block the ruling.
A short time later, the highest court issued an urgent ruling immediately suspending entire nutrition assistance benefits, which nearly 42 hundred thousand people rely on to buy groceries.
“Our attorneys will not stop fighting, day and night, to defend and advance the administration's agenda,” the attorney general stated on social media shortly after 9:30pm in Washington.
Administration officials had asked the appellate court to block a judicial decision that it provide this month's entire Snap benefits amid a federal closure, and faced refusal later the same day.

The high court’s ruling came after the government requested a US appellate court last Friday to halt a judicial directive mandating they issue the upcoming full monthly Snap aid throughout a federal closure.
