The Trump administration has asked a federal appeals court for an emergency block on a judge’s order that it must pay full SNAP benefits for November to 42 million Americans by Friday.
The administration asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit to allow a plan to pay 65 percent of food stamp benefits this month from an emergency fund.
The request comes a day after Judge Jack McConnell issued an order in U.S. District Court in Rhode Island rejecting the partial payment option.
