WASHINGTON, Nov 12 — The US Supreme Court yesterday extended a pause on a judge’s order that required President Donald Trump’s administration to fully fund food aid for 42 million low-income Americans this month amid the federal government shutdown, even as lawmakers took steps toward ending the stalemate.<\/p>\n

The court’s action allows the administration for now to continue withholding about US$4 billion (RM16.5 billion) from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programme, known as SNAP or food stamps.<\/p>\n

Lawyers for the administration told the justices on Monday that an end to the government shutdown would eliminate its need to halt the judge’s order, so the court’s extension of a pause issued last Friday by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson may prove short-lived.<\/p>\n

Jackson, yesterday, wrote that she would have denied the administration’s request to further halt the judge’s order.<\/p>\n

The extended pause is set to expire tomorrow.<\/p>\n

The US Senate on Monday approved compromise legislation that would end the longest government shutdown in US history, breaking a weeks-long stalemate that has disrupted food benefits for millions, left hundreds of thousands of federal workers unpaid and snarled air traffic.<\/p>\n

SNAP benefits lapsed at the start of the month for the first time in the programme’s 60-year history. Recipients have turned to already strained food pantries and made sacrifices like forgoing medications to stretch tight budgets. — Reuters<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
