特朗普政府面临截止日期决定是否继续为SNAP提供资金以应对法院命令
摘要
特朗普政府必须在周一之前通知联邦法官是否将使用应急资金在政府停摆期间继续提供补充营养援助计划（SNAP）福利。
特朗普政府被要求在周一之前通知两位联邦法官是否将利用应急资金维持在持续的政府停摆期间的补充营养援助计划（SNAP）。SNAP每月为约八分之一的美国人提供服务，费用约为80亿美元，由于停摆，自11月1日起资金被冻结。
来自25个州及哥伦比亚特区的民主党总检察长和州长对政府停止该计划的方案提出挑战，声称有法律义务继续运营该项目。对此，罗德岛和马萨诸塞州的联邦法官裁定，政府必须至少部分使用现有应急资源继续支付SNAP福利。
美国农业部（USDA）拥有50亿美元的SNAP应急基金。政府此前曾撤回使用这些资金维持项目运行的计划。民主党官员则认为还可以动用额外的230亿美元储备资金。
罗德岛联邦地区法官约翰·J·麦康奈尔下令政府至少使用应急资金为SNAP提供资金，并要求在周一前提供最新情况。类似地，马萨诸塞州联邦地区法官英迪拉·塔尔瓦尼裁定暂停SNAP违法，指示联邦政府在周一前决定是否使用紧急储备资金为11月提供部分或全部SNAP福利。
财政部长斯科特·贝森特表示，按照法院关于部分支付的命令，SNAP福利可能在周三开始发放。他确认政府不打算对裁决提出上诉，暗示将迅速执行法院指令。
尽管如此，数百万受益人仍面临不确定性和潜在的福利发放延迟，因为在许多州，将资金加载到SNAP借记卡上可能需要一周或更长时间。倡导者警告称，停止食品援助可能迫使个人在购买食品和支付其他账单之间做出选择。
