#unemployment benefit

[sordidamok]

The happiest countries have universal healthcare,unemployment benefits, free college, reproductive rights and maternity leave. The rich pay taxes.

They don't have mass shootings, Citizens United or Donald Trump.

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected the appeal of a Minnesota woman who said she was wrongly denied unemployment benefits after being fired for refusing to be vaccinated for COVID-19 because of her religious beliefs.

The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development determined she wasn’t eligible for benefits because her reasons for refusing the vaccine were based less on religion and more on a lack of trust that the vaccine was effective.

The case shows that the vaccine debate continues to smolder after the pandemic and after the Supreme Court in 2022 halted enforcement of a Biden administration vaccine-or-testing mandate for large employers but declined to hear a challenge to the administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for health care facilities that receive federal funding.

Still pending is an appeal from military chaplains who challenged the military’s vaccination requirement. Although that requirement was later rescinded at the direction of Congress, the chaplains argue they lost out on training opportunities and promotions because they requested religious exemptions.

Minnesota said the unemployment benefit appeal denied Monday wasn’t worth the Supreme Court’s time because benefits have been given to others who were found to have a sincerely held religious objection to the vaccine, so there’s no overarching question to address.

Lawyers for the Upper Midwest Law Center, which represented Tina Goede, had argued she was treated differently by the Minnesota courts than others who successfully appealed their denial of benefits.

REFUSING TO GET VACCINATED, FIRED FROM A PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY

After refusing to get vaccinated, Goede was fired in 2022 from her job as an account sales manager for the pharmaceutical company Astra Zeneca. Her position had required her to meet with customers in hospitals and clinics, some of which required proof of vaccination.

She told the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development her religious beliefs prohibit injecting foreign substances into her body, which is a “temple of the Holy Spirit.”

A Catholic opposed to abortion, Goede also objected to the COVID-19 vaccine because she believed it was manufactured using or tested on an aborted fetal-cell line. (A cell line from an abortion decades ago was used to create Johnson & Johnson’s coronavirus vaccine. Fetal cells were used in the early testing, though not in the production, of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.)

But Goede told the unemployment law judge she wouldn’t receive the vaccine no matter how it was made “because it doesn’t work.”

The judge said Goede was declining to take some vaccines, but not others, “because she does not trust them, not because of a religious belief.”

Goede’s attorneys said the judge had interrogated her religious beliefs with “unfair `gotcha’ questioning."

“He couched his denial of benefits in Ms. Goede’s credibility and then discounted her religious beliefs by determining that her secular beliefs outweighed them,” the lawyers told the Supreme Court.

At the same time the Minnesota Court of Appeals upheld that decision last year, it reached the opposite conclusion for two others who had been denied benefits after asserting religious objections.

Goede’s lawyers said her case presented a question that will reoccur: how to analyze a religious objection to an employer policy when those objections coincide with secular beliefs.

I think the actual biggest risk factor for falling for phone scams is not ever having had to call a government office to get a problem solved.

#if youve never been on benefits or unemployment or done your own taxes or had a discrepancy on your water bill #THAT is what makes you vulnerable #talking to actual government employees on the phone innoculates you

Jean Edmonds in Liverpool remembered 'the neighbouring family being visited by a means test inspector on the eve of their baby son's funeral and told they would have to pawn the table under the coffin, before they could qualify for unemployment relief'.

#i think theres a single place from my 10 january applications that hasnt responded yet. so im considering it as good as gone too #and we are now hitting the incredibly awful times for job searching since basically all summer jobs are gone so applying to anything is bad #the only good thing is that i have no deadlines or requirements as of right now. i havent been contacted by officials since my last ones #expired in january but i keep being able to file for unemployment benefits so. idk man. i dont wanna contact them cause then my four #applications a month requirement returns and its SO fucking stressful #like maybe thats why i was much better last month. i didnt have to do that. i would have sent out applications even without the requirement #if there was places but there were like. nothing. so i didnt. and i feel sooooo much better about it #like ofc i would like a job still. obviously. but at the same time when i didnt have to send useless applications that just made me feel #fuck awful and useless and all the other negative emotions? yeah i do feel better. ''surprisingly'' lmao #..im just rambling at this point wowie anything to procrastinate starting a fic i guess lmao #night is an absolute mess on main

my MP is so drained today... I guess maybe I could turn on the space heater and risk taking a nap in a little bit

#ktxt #really in my nothing matters phase but I can't leave because I need unemployment benefits... its fine tho #nobody was checking on me before and they're not gonna start... and unlike before nobody is depending on me to do my job

[whirling-fangs]

[[ thanks for the silly shenanigans ♥ i'm going to see the HR person tomorrow at work to say I wanna terminate my contract, so needless to say I'm a little nervous haha. I greatly appreciate the distraction ;w;

But I've got a week of break after that so hopefully I'll be okay. I'm visiting family for a few days so I might be on and off, then I'll be chilling at home, hopefully to start looking into new jobs, updating my resume etc etc.

Take good care of yourselves everyone!! ]]

#mask off / ooc post #[[it's my first job so it's also my first time quitting haha #i've been there 2.5 years and it's either i quit now #or i try to make it until june next year without a breakdown #which sounds impossible #i need to negociate a mutual termination and not uniterally quit or else i get no unemployment benefits :') i've got rent to pay sobs]]

Guess who just lost their job in a mass layoff and is now once again unemployed 👁👄👁

#post #they pulled a bunch of us into a meeting and told us our whole department basically got annihilated #and instead of transferring us to different departments like they've done with me before #they just kicked us all to the curb and it's up to us to try to re-apply and see if they wanna take us back lol #but hey at least i get a few weeks of severance pay #that's a lot more than i can say of all the other jobs i've been laid off from #plus i got 3 years of experience to put on my resume so i'm sure that helps with my future prospects somewhat #i just applied for unemployment benefits so i'll see where that leads me and hope i can find another decent job that pays me enough to live #goodbye health insurance
