Government Seeks Help from Top Court After Failed Bid to Halt Food Stamp Aid Order
Last Friday, just moments after a US appeals court determined that the government must pay for Snap food aid benefits, the White House turned to the nation's highest court in a new attempt to halt the order.
Not long after, the supreme court released an urgent ruling temporarily blocking entire food stamp payments, which approximately 42 thousand Americans rely on to put food on the table.
“Our attorneys will not stop battling, day and night, to protect and further our policies,” the attorney general stated on online platforms just after 9:30pm local time.
White House staff had requested the US appeals court to overturn a court ruling requiring them to provide the upcoming full monthly Snap payments in the middle of a US federal government shutdown, and faced refusal later the same day.

Following that petition to block faced refusal, the government appealed to the supreme court in a new bid to halt the directive to pay for Snap food aid payments.
