Administration Appeals to High Court Following Unsuccessful Bid to Block Snap Aid Directive
This past Friday, shortly following a national appellate court ruled that the administration needs to pay for Snap food aid disbursements, the federal government turned to the US top court in a new attempt to halt the directive.
Within hours, the highest court issued an emergency order immediately suspending entire Snap food aid benefits, which nearly 42 thousand Americans count on to feed their families.
“Legal counsel persist in working, day and night, to protect and further our priorities,” the attorney general stated on online platforms shortly after 9:30pm in Washington.
Administration officials had petitioned the federal appeals court to stop a court ruling mandating they issue this month's full monthly Snap benefits during a federal closure, and had their request rejected hours later.

The high court’s order came after the White House requested a US appellate court this past Friday to halt a court ruling that it distribute this month's full monthly food stamp benefits amid a government funding lapse.
Subsequent to that appeal to stop was denied, the government appealed to the high court in a additional bid to prevent the order to pay for food stamp disbursements.
