联邦法官命令在政府停摆期间继续发放补充营养援助计划(SNAP)福利

摘要

两位联邦法官已下令特朗普政府在持续的政府停摆期间继续为补充营养援助计划(SNAP)提供资金,确保约4200万美国人的福利得以维持。

针对持续的政府停摆,两位联邦法官已命令特朗普政府继续为补充营养援助计划(SNAP)提供资金,该计划为约4200万美国人提供食品援助。

马萨诸塞州联邦地区法官印蒂拉·塔尔瓦尼(Indira Talwani)裁定,政府必须使用应急资金,在停摆期间至少支付部分SNAP福利。她驳回了政府关于无法动用50亿美元应急基金的论点,指出政府“依法必须在必要时使用先前拨款的SNAP应急储备金”。

同样,罗德岛联邦地区法官约翰·J·麦康奈尔(John J. McConnell Jr.)命令农业部迅速分配应急资金,以确保11月1日的付款能够进行。他强调了事态的紧迫性,指出美国民众为满足基本营养需求而感到的“恐慌”。

农业部此前曾宣布,由于政府停摆,SNAP资金将耗尽,可能导致受益人无法获得援助。法官的裁决旨在防止这一结果,确保在资金中断期间福利得以持续发放。

尽管法院已下达命令,政府尚未表明是否会对裁决提出上诉。司法部表示正在“考虑是否需要任何紧急救济”。
