Court Rejects Trump's Food Stamp Block, Administration Seeks Supreme Court Intervention
Update: 2025-11-10
Description
In a significant ruling, a federal appeals court in Boston has sided with a lower court, ordering the Trump administration to pay full food stamp benefits to forty-two million Americans during the ongoing government shutdown. This decision comes despite the administrations attempts to block the order, and follows a warning from the USDA to states that had already issued full benefits. The courts decision also comes as the Senate moves towards a bipartisan deal to reopen the government and fully fund the food stamp program. The administrations refusal to pay these benefits, despite a long-standing tradition of doing so during shutdowns, has been criticized by the court, which noted that the problem could have been avoided.
