Government Seeks Help from High Court Following Unsuccessful Bid to Halt Food Stamp Aid Directive
On Friday, shortly after a US appeals court determined that the government must completely finance nutritional assistance payments, the administration sought intervention from the nation's highest court in a new attempt to halt the ruling.
Within hours, the supreme court issued an urgent ruling provisionally halting entire food stamp funds, which close to 42 hundred thousand people count on to feed their families.

Government representatives had petitioned the US appeals court to overturn a judicial decision that it provide the upcoming complete nutritional payments during a government funding lapse, and was denied hours later.
