跟进：上诉法院拒绝叫停全额发放食品券命令，4200万人11月补助仍悬而未决
本站11月1日报道，两名联邦法官裁定农业部须动用应急资金发放11月食品券（SNAP），约4200万人受影响。此后法律拉锯升级：罗得岛州联邦法官 John McConnell 上周四命令农业部动用一笔233.5亿美元的儿童营养项目资金，补足全额发放所需的约40亿美元差额；联邦最高法院大法官 Ketanji Brown Jackson 上周五发出临时中止令，暂停执行这一命令。
波士顿第一巡回上诉法院周日拒绝叫停 McConnell 的命令。巡回法官 Julie Rikelman 在三人合议庭意见中写道，判政府胜诉将造成广泛伤害，让数千万美国人在冬季临近时失去食物。但由于 Jackson 的中止令在第一巡回法院裁决后48小时内仍然有效，周日的裁决暂无立即影响，11月补助能否全额发放仍未确定。
农业部上周六指示各州撤销已采取的全额发放步骤，否则可能面临经费处罚。SNAP每月耗资约85亿至90亿美元，政府原计划仅以约46.5亿美元应急资金覆盖约一半额度。已有多个州在法院命令后先行发放全额补助，其中威斯康星州向约33.7万户发放了逾1.04亿美元。参议院周日已推进一项旨在重启联邦政府的法案，政府停摆周一进入第41天。

Follow-Up: Appeals Court Declines to Halt Full SNAP Funding Order, Leaving November Benefits for 42 Million in Limbo
GSM reported on November 1 that two federal judges had ordered the Department of Agriculture to use emergency funds to pay November food stamp (SNAP) benefits, affecting about 42 million people. The legal fight has since escalated: U.S. District Judge John McConnell in Rhode Island on Thursday ordered the USDA to tap a $23.35 billion child nutrition fund to cover the roughly $4 billion needed for full payments, and Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson on Friday issued a temporary hold pausing that order.
The Boston-based 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Sunday declined to halt McConnell's order. Circuit Judge Julie Rikelman, writing for a three-judge panel, said ruling for the administration would cause widespread harm by leaving tens of millions of Americans without food as winter approaches. But because Jackson's hold remains in place for 48 hours after the 1st Circuit's decision, Sunday's ruling has no immediate effect, and whether November benefits will be paid in full is still unresolved.
On Saturday, the USDA directed states to undo any steps they had taken to issue full benefits or risk financial penalties. SNAP costs about $8.5 billion to $9 billion a month, and the administration had planned to cover only about half with roughly $4.65 billion in contingency funds. Several states issued full payments after the court orders, including Wisconsin, which released more than $104 million to about 337,000 households. The Senate on Sunday moved forward on a measure aimed at reopening the federal government, which on Monday reached its 41st day of shutdown.
