Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings is praising a federal court ruling that has once again prevented the collection of private information from food stamp recipients across the country.
The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California issued a decision blocking federal demands that states hand over confidential details about millions of people who apply for or receive benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
This marks another legal victory for Jennings, who earlier joined with other attorneys general in challenging the data collection requirements through federal court action.
The ruling protects sensitive personal information of SNAP participants from being turned over to federal authorities, continuing a pattern of successful legal challenges to these data demands.
