US EditionSupreme Court expected to rule Tuesday on SNAP freeze
- On Monday, Donald Trump's administration asked the Supreme Court to continue blocking lower-court orders requiring full SNAP funding for more than 41 million Americans enrolled in SNAP.
- The administration said it lacked legal authority to tap emergency funds and intended to freeze SNAP during the shutdown, but USDA warned `the well has run dry` and then used `41 million` in contingency funds to cover roughly 65 percent.
- SNAP supports roughly one in eight families and provides an average of $188 per person per month, with benefits delivered on prepaid cards for groceries.
- Judge John McConnell ruled Thursday that the administration failed to expeditiously resolve clerical issues delaying payments and warned that `people will go hungry`, calling withholding payments unacceptable.
- With families scrambling, Democratic officials from 25 states have sought court orders to restart SNAP funds, California Attorney General Rob Bonta said Monday, amid USDA guidance confusion.
