Unemployment case at Scotus

The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that Alabama cannot refuse the citizens the ability to sue the State Labor Department for delays and mistakes in processing unemployment receivables starting with the pandemic year of 2020, Sarah-Alb-Alcom Koditschek reports.

The yard was divided by 5-4, Justices Brent Kavanaugh and John Roberts joined the most three liberal justices for a majority.

The decision indicated the paradox in which those who have submitted unemployment applications cannot sue to accelerate the administrative process until the administrative process is completed.

The Alabama Labor Department did not respond immediately, but the office of the State General Prosecutor made a statement: “We are disappointed by the Court’s decision 5-4, which pronounced for the applicants based on a restricted argument, the Supreme Court of Alabama never had the opportunity that you consider. “

The initial trial in this case was submitted in 2022 and targeted an unemployment system in Alabama, which took several years to process calls, has the highest rejection rate in the US, asked some applicants to pay money back. and was called “scandalous” by the office of governor Kay ivey.

A circuit judge rejected the case, deciding that the applicants needed to conclude the unemployment compensation process before being able to sue about the delay of this process. The Supreme Court of Alabama agreed, but the US Supreme Court agreed to hear the case.

Now he has returned to the Supreme State Court, where Alabama justices will decide if they will send the class case to the lower court to be heard.
