联邦法官裁定政府停摆期间继续发放SNAP福利

摘要

两位联邦法官已命令特朗普政府利用应急资金维持补充营养援助计划(SNAP)福利的发放,确保约4200万美国人继续获得支持。

在持续的联邦政府停摆期间,两位联邦法官已强制特朗普政府继续发放补充营养援助计划(SNAP)福利。此决定确保约4200万低收入美国人尽管预算僵局,仍能获得食品援助。

美国马萨诸塞州地方法院法官Indira Talwani和罗德岛地方法院法官John J. McConnell Jr.裁定,政府必须动用现有应急资金以维持SNAP付款。Talwani法官指示政府于周一前报告其遵守该命令的计划。

特朗普政府此前曾表示,由于国会未拨款,SNAP福利将从11月1日起暂停。美国农业部(USDA)称,应急资金在停摆期间依法不可用于覆盖常规福利。

对此,由25个州及哥伦比亚特区组成的联盟对政府提起诉讼,认为停止发放SNAP福利将导致食品不安全和公共健康问题加剧。各州主张,USDA有法律义务使用现有资金继续该项目。

法院裁决令各州官员和倡导团体感到宽慰。纽约总检察长Letitia James强调该决定的重要性,称数百万美国人依赖SNAP作为生命线。

USDA尚未宣布如何执行法院命令。此事凸显了政府停摆带来的更广泛挑战,影响了多个联邦项目和服务。
