Supreme Court Case on Wisconsin Unemployment Compensation System and Catholic Charities
The U.S. Supreme Court hears a case where a chapter of Catholic Charities challenges Wisconsin's mandatory unemployment compensation system, arguing for an exemption based on religious mission. The state argues that the charity's work is similar to other non-profits and should not be exempt. The charity wants to opt out to join a church-specific program, but concerns are raised about the financial stability of such a move.
