Is a temporary suspension of disability benefits because of a claimant's religious observance constitutional?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Jaffe v. Unemployment Ins. Appeals Bd., 156 Cal.App.3d 719, 202 Cal.Rptr. 812 (Cal. App. 1984):
[156 Cal.App.3d 723] The Board further contends that a temporary suspension of benefits because of a claimant's religious observance is constitutional whereas a total and permanent disqualification for such benefits, where a market remains for the claimant's services, is concededly unconstitutional. (See Sherbert v. Verner (1963) 374 U.S. 398, 83 S.Ct. 1790, 10 L.Ed.2d 965.)
