The Trump administration on Nov. 10 urged the Supreme Court to extend a block on an order requiring it to pay in full for the federal food stamp program.

An appeals court wrongly ruled that the administration must pay about $9 billion to fully fund the program for November, lawyers for the government said in a brief to Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.
