Subpart D

Equal Treatment in Department of Labor Programs for Religious Organizations; Protection of Religious Liberty of Department of Labor Social Service Providers and Beneficiaries

• Section Number: 2.35
• Section Name: Effect of DOL support on Title VII employment nondiscrimination requirements and on other existing statutes

 A religious organization's exemption from the Federal prohibition 
on employment discrimination on the basis of religion, set forth in 
Sec.  702(a) of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. Sec.  2000e-1, 
is not forfeited when the organization receives direct or indirect DOL 
support. Some DOL programs, however, were established through Federal 
statutes containing independent statutory provisions requiring that 
recipients refrain from discriminating on the basis of religion. 
Accordingly, to determine the scope of any applicable requirements, 
recipients and potential recipients should consult with the appropriate 
DOL program official or with the Civil Rights Center, U.S. Department 
of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Room N4123, Washington, DC 
20210, (202) 693-6500. Individuals with hearing or speech impairments 
may access this telephone number via TTY by calling the toll-free
