Government Turns to High Court Following Failed Bid to Stop Snap Payment Order
This past Friday, immediately after a national appellate court decided that the White House must pay for Snap food aid payments, the White House sought intervention from the supreme court in a additional attempt to prevent the directive.
Not long after, the top US court handed down an urgent ruling temporarily blocking entire food stamp funds, which nearly 42 thousand individuals rely on to put food on the table.
“Legal counsel continue working, day and night, to support and promote the president's priorities,” a senior official stated on online platforms around 9:30pm ET.
White House staff had asked the appellate court to overturn a judicial decision requiring them to provide this month's full monthly Snap payments in the middle of a US federal government shutdown, and faced refusal hours later.

Following that petition to block got rejected, the White House sought help from the supreme court in a further attempt to block the directive to completely finance food stamp payments.
