Church Unemployment Pay Program (CUPP)
The Church Unemployment Pay Program (CUPP) was developed to assist Wisconsin parishes, schools, and other church employers meet their social justice responsibilities by providing church-funded unemployment coverage for lay employees in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and the Dioceses of La Crosse, Madison, and Superior.
CUPP has a new website, https://www.cuppwi.org/, and all applications for benefits must now be submitted by qualified applicants using the new secure online portal.
The website provides detailed Program information, Frequently Asked Questions, and a contact form for further inquiries. CUPP administrative services can be reached at the following:
