Shirley Klein
After paying her over $4,000 in Unemployment, now the state wants her to pay it back! Because her employer was a religious school, they say she can't collect. She says this violates the equal protection clause. This court says employees at schools like this can't collect.
Patricia Schwartfigure
The state paid her over $2,000 in Unemployment, and then decided she didn't deserve it. Next time she applied for benefits, they started deducting what they figured they had paid her by mistake. This court says they can't do that.
