The High Court Issues Emergency Order Stopping Entire Food Stamp Disbursements

The high court’s decision came after the White House requested a national appeals court last Friday to block a court ruling requiring them to issue this month's complete food stamp assistance throughout a government funding lapse.

Subsequent to that appeal to halt was denied, the administration sought help from the supreme court in a new effort to halt the ruling to completely finance food stamp payments.
