White House Appeals to High Court After Failed Attempt to Block Food Stamp Payment Directive
This past Friday, just moments following a national appellate court decided that the White House is required to completely finance nutritional assistance disbursements, the White House appealed to the supreme court in a additional attempt to prevent the ruling.
Within hours, the supreme court issued an temporary injunction provisionally halting full Snap food aid funds, which nearly 42 million people rely on to feed their families.
“Legal counsel will not stop fighting, day and night, to support and promote our priorities,” the attorney general stated on online platforms shortly after 9:30pm ET.
White House staff had requested the US appeals court to overturn a judge's order that it distribute this month's full monthly nutritional benefits during a federal closure, and had their request rejected hours later.

The supreme court's ruling was issued after the administration requested a federal appeals court last Friday to block a judge’s order requiring them to issue this month's complete Snap aid amid a government funding lapse.
Following that petition to stop got rejected, the administration sought help from the high court in a additional attempt to prevent the directive to completely finance food stamp benefits.
