🔗 Share this article Administration Appeals to High Court Following Failed Attempt to Halt Snap Payment Order This past Friday, shortly following a federal appeals court ruled that the administration is required to fully fund nutritional assistance payments, the White House turned to the US top court in a new attempt to halt the order. Not long after, the supreme court issued an temporary injunction provisionally halting complete nutrition assistance payments, which nearly 42 million individuals rely on to put food on the table. “Legal counsel will not stop fighting, around the clock, to protect and further our agenda,” a senior official declared on online platforms around 9:30pm local time. Government representatives had petitioned the appellate court to stop a judicial decision that it distribute this month's entire Snap payments in the middle of a government funding lapse, and had their request rejected later the same day. The High Court Issues Urgent Ruling Stopping Complete Snap Food Aid Payments The high court’s decision came after the administration petitioned a national appeals court this past Friday to block a court ruling that it provide November’s entire Snap assistance during a US federal government shutdown. After that request to halt got rejected, the White House appealed to the nation's top court in a further attempt to halt the directive to fully fund nutrition assistance payments.
