The Supreme Court extended its order blocking Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, food assistance payments until at least Thursday as lawmakers in Congress debate a bill that could reopen the government, according to a new report.
The order was not unanimous, with liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson filing a dissent, according to a report by Kate Buehler, Supreme Court reporter for Law360. It comes at a time when Democrats have agreed to vote for a series of short-term spending bills in exchange for a vote on the expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies in December.
"The administrative stay entered on November 7, 2023 is hereby extended until 11:59 p.m. (EST) on November 13, 2025," the order reads in part. "Justice Jackson would deny the request for the extension of the administrative stay and the application."
