Government Appeals to Supreme Court After Failed Bid to Block Snap Payment Directive
This past Friday, shortly after a federal appeals court decided that the administration needs to fully fund Snap food aid disbursements, the administration turned to the US top court in a new effort to prevent the directive.
A short time later, the supreme court released an emergency order immediately suspending complete food stamp funds, which approximately 42 thousand Americans depend on to feed their families.
“Legal counsel will not stop fighting, day and night, to defend and advance our policies,” the top legal officer declared on social media around 9:30pm in Washington.

After that request to block was denied, the White House turned to the high court in a additional attempt to block the ruling to pay for food stamp benefits.
