The Application

History

States allege the USDA suspended SNAP benefits through executive action without notice-and-comment rulemaking or demonstrated statutory authorization, causing immediate harm to millions of beneficiaries and imposing compliance costs on state agencies.

The Conclusion

The case remains active in the District of Massachusetts with preliminary injunction briefing ongoing; the outcome will determine whether the benefits suspension can proceed pending resolution of the administrative law and statutory authority questions.
