Government Seeks Help from High Court After Failed Attempt to Stop Food Stamp Aid Directive
This past Friday, shortly following a US appeals court ruled that the government needs to completely finance food stamp disbursements, the federal government turned to the nation's highest court in a further bid to halt the order.
Not long after, the highest court issued an emergency order temporarily blocking full nutrition assistance payments, which nearly 42 thousand Americans depend on to put food on the table.
“Legal counsel will not stop fighting, day and night, to support and promote the president's agenda,” the attorney general announced on digital channels around 9:30pm in Washington.
Administration officials had asked the appellate court to overturn a court ruling requiring them to distribute November’s full monthly food stamp benefits amid a government funding lapse, and had their request rejected hours later.
US Supreme Court Issues Temporary Injunction Blocking Entire Food Stamp Benefits
The high court’s decision came after the government asked a national appeals court last Friday to stop a judicial directive that it distribute the upcoming complete food stamp assistance during a federal closure.
After that request to block faced refusal, the administration turned to the nation's top court in a new bid to block the directive to pay for food stamp disbursements.
