White House Appeals to Supreme Court Following Unsuccessful Attempt to Block Food Stamp Aid Directive
Last Friday, shortly following a US appeals court determined that the administration needs to completely finance food stamp disbursements, the federal government turned to the US top court in a new bid to block the ruling.
Within hours, the highest court issued an urgent ruling temporarily blocking complete Snap food aid benefits, which approximately 42 hundred thousand Americans count on to feed their families.
“Our attorneys will not stop fighting, day and night, to support and promote our policies,” a senior official stated on social media just after 9:30pm in Washington.
Administration officials had requested the appellate court to block a judge's order mandating they issue the upcoming full monthly food stamp benefits in the middle of a federal closure, and faced refusal that afternoon.

The supreme court's ruling followed the White House asked a federal appeals court on Friday to halt a judicial directive that it provide the upcoming entire Snap aid throughout a federal closure.
After that request to halt was denied, the administration sought help from the supreme court in a additional effort to prevent the ruling to fully fund Snap food aid benefits.
