The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to announce whether the Trump administration must start complying with lower court orders that require full payments in the SNAP food program. The administration accepted a pair of earlier rulings that said it must provide at least partial benefits. But there has been an intense court battle underway since last week after a judge ruled that full funding was required. SNAP helps about 1 in 8 American buy groceries. For many of them, November's payments are already delayed. Resuming the program is a piece of the legislation adopted by the Senate and now headed to the House on to reopen the federal government. A high court decision is expected Tuesday.
