A new Supreme Court case could totally change which employers have to pay into unemployment benefits.

The article discusses the upcoming Supreme Court case of Catholic Charities v. Wisconsin, which could significantly impact unemployment benefits nationwide. The Wisconsin state supreme court previously ruled that Catholic Charities, which engages in secular activities and employs individuals outside the church, does not qualify for religious exemptions from unemployment taxes. If the Supreme Court rules in favor of Catholic Charities, it may allow various religiously affiliated organizations to opt out of providing unemployment benefits, potentially affecting employees at institutions like religious hospitals and universities. The decision could incentivize organizations to align with religious missions to avoid unemployment costs, raising concerns about broader implications for the workforce. [Extracted from the article]
