The unemployment agency is the state agency that administers the UI program, which has a waiting list of about 3,000 applicants, according to a release from the Maryland Department of Workforce Development.
Maryland is one of the only states to provide unemployment benefits to employees.
In a statement, the UI office said that Maryland’s unemployment program is designed to help eligible Maryland residents stay in the labor force and prepare for a job market that’s expected to be strong again by the end of the year.
It also said that employers will not be required to provide personal and job information to the UI.
“Employers will be required only to provide the name, address and telephone number of an employee who has a job open, and that employer can choose to keep this information confidential,” the UI said.
“If a job has already been posted for a person with a disability, it will be removed from the job search database and will not automatically be removed if the person has a disability.”
The unemployment application is also required for applicants applying for loan programs.
Applicators can also apply for tax credits and child care subsidies.
