The Supreme Court on Friday granted the Trump administration’s emergency appeal to temporarily block a court order to fully fund SNAP food aid payments amid the government shutdown, even though residents in some states already have received the funds.

Which states issued SNAP payments In Wisconsin, more than $104 million of monthly food benefits became available at midnight on electronic cards for about 337,000 households, a spokesperson for Democratic Gov. Tony Evers said. The state was able to access the federal money so quickly by submitting a request to its electronic benefit card vendor to process the SNAP payments within hours of a Thursday court order to provide full benefits.
Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, a Democrat, said state employees “worked through the night” to issue full November benefits “to make sure every Oregon family relying on SNAP could buy groceries” by Friday.
Hawaii had the information for November’s monthly payments ready to go, so it could submit it quickly for processing after Thursday’s court order — and before a higher court could potentially pause it, Joseph Campos II, deputy director of Hawaii’s Department of Human Services, told The Associated Press.
“We moved with haste once we verified everything,” Campos said.

I understand that the SNAP money is being diverted from more worthy food programs. THAT should be the headline.

Wisconsin’s Governor is sitting on a remainder of about $225M of the COVID slush funds distributed to the states, which only require the governor’s discretion to spend. Use that, Gov. Evers, to send the money back.

Wonder why the headline didn’t mention it was kuhdisha Jackson brown that issued the order. Weird huh? 🤔
RE: money from the school lunch program.
In the period of 1969-1970s the Black Panthers provided meals in schools under their Free Breakfast for School Children program. It finally was shut down due to “police raids, FBI interference, and internal party conflicts.” —they claim.
After it ended, it was said to be the inspiration for the US Government’s School Breakfast Program, which now provides meals to millions of children. It was made into a permanent entitlement program in 1975.
If they had that back in the 50’s I wouldn’t have had to eat cold grits flavored with grape jelly.
Starving very fat people are sad
Ha.
You say that like it was a bad thing. 🥣
When do the courts rule that the monies left in the agency offices postage meters be used to fund SNAP?
Sorry to rain on your pity parade but come gtits flavored with grape jelly sounds a whole lot better than the Mystery Meat our grammar school tried to feed us. They had to haul in extra garbage cans every time they put Mystery Meat on the menu. The kids had an innate an aversion to it. Perhaps an evolutionary survival instinct? Besides it stunk.
The interesting thing is that our supposedly intelligent Educators never learned that we wouldn’t eat the krap. Even though they had to bring in extra trash cans every time they served it.
Not exactly mystery meat

I am old enough to remember when Americans were happy to work hard have what they NEED and now Americans are angry if they don’t get everything they WANT without even working.
My school had a sign up sheet for anyone who wanted to work in the cafeteria for a week. You wound up being put on a list because they had so many takers. Free lunch and all you could eat was the incentive.
