Government Turns to High Court After Failed Bid to Stop Food Stamp Payment Order

Last Friday, just moments following a national appellate court decided that the White House must fully fund food stamp payments, the federal government sought intervention from the supreme court in a additional bid to halt the order.

Not long after, the supreme court released an emergency order temporarily blocking full food stamp benefits, which nearly 42 million people count on to buy groceries.

“Government lawyers will not stop fighting, day and night, to defend and advance the president's priorities,” a senior official announced on social media just after 9:30pm in Washington.

White House staff had asked the federal appeals court to overturn a judicial decision mandating they provide the upcoming full monthly Snap payments during a government funding lapse, and faced refusal that afternoon.

The high court’s ruling followed the White House petitioned a federal appeals court last Friday to halt a judicial directive requiring them to distribute November’s entire Snap assistance during a government funding lapse.

After that request to halt faced refusal, the government turned to the high court in a new effort to block the ruling to pay for food stamp benefits.
