What religious employers should know about the cares act

Caring About CARES Teleforum

Christian Legal Society and prominent legal experts held a teleforum on April 9, 2020, to explain what religious employers should know about the CARES Act and other emergency relief programs in response to COVID-19. (CLS held a subsequent webinar for churches and nonprofits in June 2020 on re-opening and also provided materials on other COVID-related religious freedom issues.)
