SCOTUS ruling limits SNAP payments, a victory for Trump amid federal shutdown.
The U.S. Supreme Court granted the Trump administration’s emergency appeal to avoid funding food stamps beyond the contingency fund limits.
The Friday ruling ensures that all Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) payouts are limited to contingency funding, a win for American taxpayers and the Trump administration amid the Democrats’ federal shutdown. Oddly enough, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson granted the emergency appeal.
After a judge ruled the administration had only until Friday to pay the full amount of normal SNAP benefits, the administration appealed.
