The Supreme Court ruled that a Catholic charity in Wisconsin is not required to pay unemployment taxes, citing religious freedom protections, in a case involving exemption criteria and ongoing debates over religious rights and public funding.
The U.S. Supreme Court will decide if religious charities, like Catholic Charities in Wisconsin, are exempt from paying state unemployment taxes. While federal law exempts religious schools, the court has not ruled on religious charities. Wisconsin's state court denied the exemption, citing the secular nature of the charity's activities. Catholic Charities argues this decision violates the First Amendment's free exercise clause. The Supreme Court will hear the case early next year, with a decision expected by June.
