Administration Turns to Supreme Court After Unsuccessful Bid to Block Snap Aid Order
This past Friday, just moments after a US appeals court determined that the government needs to completely finance nutritional assistance payments, the federal government sought intervention from the US top court in a new attempt to halt the order.
A short time later, the highest court issued an urgent ruling temporarily blocking entire nutrition assistance benefits, which approximately 42 hundred thousand people rely on to buy groceries.
“Legal counsel persist in battling, around the clock, to defend and advance the administration's priorities,” a senior official announced on online platforms just after 9:30pm ET.
Administration officials had asked the US appeals court to overturn a court ruling mandating they distribute this month's entire Snap benefits during a federal closure, and faced refusal hours later.

The high court’s ruling followed the government asked a federal appeals court on Friday to halt a judicial directive that it distribute November’s complete nutritional aid amid a federal closure.
Following that petition to stop was denied, the administration appealed to the supreme court in a additional attempt to halt the order to completely finance food stamp payments.
