California Urges Trump Administration to Feed Hungry Students Outside School Hours
The administration challenges court orders requiring full Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits for 42 million Americans amid a government shutdown.
- On Monday the Trump administration returned to the Supreme Court to try to stop full federal funding for food stamps after appeals-court denials challenged lower courts' orders for roughly 1 in 8 Americans.
- Rhode Island District Judge John McConnell last week ordered full SNAP funding after the Trump administration failed to fix administrative issues, following a late last month federal judge's directive to explore November payments.
- A federal appeals court denied the administration's request in a scathing 29-page opinion that severely faulted its tactics during the shutdown, and noted SNAP recipients receive roughly $6 a day on prepaid cards.
- Shortly after the lower-court ruling, many states began providing benefits to some SNAP recipients, but the USDA ordered states to `undo` steps taken, while a federal court in Massachusetts blocked reversals.
- The administration itself noted the appeal could be mooted if Congress strikes a deal to reopen the government, conceding the nascent congressional deal would end the shutdown and moot this application.
