How is Your State Helping the Unemployed

Maryland

As of Aug. 19, Maryland is also on the list of states approved for the FEMA program. Unemployed residents will receive $300 starting from late September, as Gov. Larry Hogan has stated.

“We sincerely appreciate FEMA’s quick approval of our application so that we can provide additional relief to struggling Marylanders,” said Governor Hogan. “Our Labor team will now work with the federal administration to implement this new program so that we can distribute these benefits. It is important to recognize that this is only a stopgap, and we continue to urge Congress to come together and approve federal aid for the states to help support our economic recovery.”
