No rehire if employee took unemployment after being laid off

Title pretty much sums it up. I work for a non-profit community health center. About a month ago, all part timers on our team were laid off and told they could return in September as temps (we’ve historically used temps for seasonal demand and projects). Now they are being told if they file for unemployment they can not be rehired. I know the employers can not rehire for any reason, but this seems somewhat illegal to me. Some already filed because they needed to. Many had been part timers for 4 years straight, this was a big part of their income. Non profits are on some bullshit just like big for profit companies
