Supreme Court Extends Pause on $4B in SNAP Payments; Jackson Dissents

On November 11, 2025, the Supreme Court extended its freeze on a district court order requiring the Trump administration to fully fund November SNAP benefits — approximately $4 billion affecting 42 million Americans. The Court acted over the sole noted objection of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who said she would have required immediate full payment. The case originated from a Rhode Island district court order by Judge John McConnell.
