Appeals Court Rules Trump Cannot Withhold Full SNAP Benefits
TL;DR
A federal appeals court allowed a judge’s order for the Trump administration to fully fund SNAP benefits for 42 million Americans during the government shutdown, but a temporary hold by Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson means the immediate impact is delayed. The case centers on whether the USDA can use funds set aside for other purposes to ensure food assistance during the shutdown.
