The High Court Grants Emergency Order Stopping Full Food Stamp Payments
The high court’s order was issued after the government petitioned a US appellate court on Friday to halt a judge’s order that it issue November’s full monthly nutritional assistance amid a US federal government shutdown.
After that request to stop got rejected, the White House sought help from the supreme court in a additional attempt to prevent the ruling to completely finance food stamp benefits.
