BREAKING: Supreme Court allows Trump administration to temporarily withhold some SNAP payments
The Supreme Court temporarily allowed the Trump administration to withhold about $4 billion in payments for the SNAP food benefits program that a federal judge had ordered it to make. The administration asked the Supreme Court to step in shortly after telling states that the program would be fully funded.
The court via an order issued by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson provisionally blocked an order issued by a lower court judge that required the payments to be made by Friday night.
The administration has said that because of the government shutdown, there is only enough money to pay partial benefits this month.
Do something positive.
