US EditionSupreme Court extends its order blocking full SNAP payments, with shutdown potentially near an end
- On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court extended a short-term order allowing the Trump administration to withhold full November Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program payments, delaying resolution amid federal government shutdown talks.
- Conflicting lower-court rulings, including decisions issued on Nov. 13, created legal uncertainty over SNAP benefit levels after the Trump administration stopped funding post-October amid the shutdown.

- The U.S. Senate on Monday passed a bill to reopen the government that would replenish SNAP funds, and the House of Representatives could vote as early as Wednesday, potentially ending legal disputes and restarting benefits for 42 million Americans.
- The administration argued in court filings that only Congress can reallocate funds and end the crisis, Solicitor General D. John Sauer said, while a coalition of cities and nonprofit groups blamed USDA delays and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented.
