The Supreme Court on Tuesday extended a pause on an order requesting the Trump administration pay full Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits for the month of November, delaying payouts for tens of millions of Americans as an end to the government shutdown that sparked the food stamp suspension nears.
The Supreme Court extended a block against multiple lower court rulings that said the Trump administration should immediately pay out SNAP benefits, meaning Americans on food stamps may not receive food stamps until the government shutdown ends.
The House is expected to vote on a government funding bill Wednesday, sending it to Trump for a final approval that would end the shutdown.
