The case the court agreed to hear involves groups affiliated with the Catholic church that serve people with developmental and mental health disabilities.
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case involving a Catholic group that supports people with developmental disabilities, focusing on whether the group should be exempt from paying unemployment taxes. The case, originating from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, involves St. Francis Assisi Catholic Church in Oregon, which operates a program for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The church argues that its employees, who are primarily engaged in religious activities, should not be subject to these taxes under a religious exemption. This exemption was previously denied by the appellate court, which ruled that the church's activities did not qualify for the exemption because they were not primarily religious in nature. The Supreme Court's decision to take up this case could have broader implications for how religious exemptions are applied to tax laws concerning unemployment benefits.
