As more Maryland businesses face payroll issues, the number of unemployed people in the Free State continues to grow. Gov. Larry Hogan is urging all Maryland workers who have recently been laid off, to file for unemployment in three different methods.
Former workers can apply by phone, online, or through email.
Those resources are available as follows:
To call: IF YOU LIVE IN DORCHESTER, QUEEN ANNE'S, SOMERSET, TALBOT, WORCESTER OR WICOMICO COUNTY
Dial 1-877-293-4125
IF YOU LIVE IN CAROLINE COUNTY
Dial: 410-334-6800
To submit a claim via email, send a message to UI.INQUIRY@MARYLAND.GOV
Or to apply via the web, visit the Maryland Department of Labor website
https://www.dllr.state.md.us/employment/unemployment.shtml
Then click "Apply for Unemployment Insurance Benefits."
The State of Maryland has not given a time frame on when claims will be answered.
