White House Turns to Supreme Court Following Failed Bid to Halt Food Stamp Payment Directive
This past Friday, shortly after a national appellate court determined that the government is required to pay for nutritional assistance disbursements, the White House turned to the nation's highest court in a additional attempt to halt the directive.
A short time later, the top US court issued an emergency order temporarily blocking complete food stamp benefits, which close to 42 thousand Americans depend on to feed their families.
“Government lawyers will not stop working, day and night, to defend and advance our policies,” the attorney general stated on social media just after 9:30pm local time.
Government representatives had requested the US appeals court to stop a judicial decision that it issue November’s complete Snap assistance during a government funding lapse, and faced refusal hours later.

The supreme court's order was issued after the White House petitioned a national appeals court last Friday to block a judge’s order that it provide November’s full monthly Snap assistance during a US federal government shutdown.
Following that petition to stop got rejected, the government turned to the supreme court in a further bid to halt the directive to fully fund Snap food aid benefits.
