The Massachusetts Law Reform Institute (MLRI) is applauding the decision by the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. to strike down a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) rule that would have stripped away SNAP benefits from hundreds of thousands – possibly millions – of Americans. Chief U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell vacated the rule that would have limited the ability of certain childless adults to access SNAP (formerly food stamps) on October 19th after issuing a preliminary injunction against it in March.
