联邦法官命令特朗普政府在停摆期间恢复补充营养援助计划(SNAP)支付

摘要

两位联邦法官已命令特朗普政府利用紧急资金,在持续的政府停摆期间继续发放补充营养援助计划(SNAP)款项。

两位联邦法官指示特朗普政府在持续的政府停摆期间,通过动用紧急储备资金继续为补充营养援助计划(SNAP)提供资金。美国农业部(USDA)原计划自11月1日起暂停SNAP支付,理由是停摆导致缺乏资金授权。然而,法官裁定必须使用约52.5亿美元的应急资金以维持该计划。

在罗德岛,联邦地区法官约翰·J·麦康奈尔(John J. McConnell Jr.)下令农业部最迟于周一全额支付SNAP款项,或于周三支付部分款项。他强调应立即动用国会批准的应急资金。

同样在马萨诸塞州,联邦地区法官英迪拉·塔尔瓦尼(Indira Talwani)裁定农业部暂停SNAP支付的行为违法。她指示政府最迟于周一决定是否授权使用应急资金及其他可用资源,至少发放11月份的部分SNAP福利。

这些裁决是对各州及倡导团体提起诉讼的回应,诉讼旨在阻止暂停SNAP福利,该计划支持着超过4200万低收入美国人。法官的决定强调了该计划的重要性及在政府停摆期间利用现有资金防止饥饿的必要性。
