特朗普政府在政府停摆期间面临关于SNAP资金的法律挑战

摘要

特朗普政府决定在持续的政府停摆期间暂停补充营养援助计划(SNAP)福利,导致多个州提起诉讼,称有法律和道德义务继续提供食品援助。

特朗普政府为其在持续的政府停摆期间暂停补充营养援助计划(SNAP)福利的决定进行了辩护,理由是法律、技术和预算限制。尽管承认有数十亿美元的联邦资金可用,官员们认为这些资金无法用于维持SNAP,可能从11月1日起影响4200万受益人。

作为回应,由22位州检察长和3位州长组成的联盟对美国农业部(USDA)及部长布鲁克·罗林斯提起诉讼,指控其非法暂停SNAP福利。明尼苏达州检察长基思·埃里森表示:“国会设立了应急基金,以便在政府停摆期间继续提供营养支持,然而尽管国会意图明确,特朗普的农业部却拒绝动用该基金。”

农业部坚持认为,法律障碍阻止在没有国会明确拨款的情况下将现有资金重新分配给SNAP。罗林斯部长强调:“目前,11月1日不会发放任何福利。”

暂停SNAP福利可能导致数百万美国人面临更严重的食品不安全和经济困难。该计划覆盖约八分之一的美国人,平均每月提供187美元的食品援助,总额约为80亿美元。即将到来的削减促使紧急法律行动,要求政府利用可用资金在停摆期间继续该计划。

马萨诸塞州安排了法庭听证会,州政府寻求司法干预,要求在11月1日截止日期前释放SNAP资金。此次法律挑战的结果将对数百万人的食品援助在长期政府停摆中的持续性产生重大影响。
