The Supreme Court issued a unanimous ruling permitting Catholic Charities to withdraw from a Wisconsin state unemployment compensation program. Justice Sotomayor's opinion overturned a previous ruling by the state's Supreme Court, which could have significant consequences. If other organizations follow suit, there could be a substantial reduction in participation in unemployment programs across Wisconsin and potentially 46 additional states, risking destabilization of the long-standing federal-state unemployment compensation structure that ensures safety nets for workers.
The unanimous opinion by Justice Sotomayor reverses a previous decision, allowing Catholic Charities to opt out of Wisconsin's unemployment compensation program, which might lead to significant implications.
The ruling may prompt an exodus from the state unemployment systems, potentially affecting various similar programs across 46 states and threatening the stability of federal-state unemployment initiatives.
