Califano v. Goldfarb 430 U.S. 199 (1977) was a decision by the United States Supreme Court which held that the different treatment of men and women mandated by 42 U.S.C. § 402(f)(1)(D) constituted invidious discrimination against female wage earners by affording them less protection for their surviving spouses than is provided to male employees and therefore violated the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
