Unemployment insurance provides benefits to persons who are unemployed through no fault of their own and who are ready, willing and able to work, and actively seeking work.

Unlike some other government assistance programs, unemployment insurance is just that - insurance. No deduction is made or has been taken from a worker's paycheck to pay unemployment insurance benefits. The entire amount is paid for by the employers covered by the Maryland Unemployment Insurance Law. An unemployed worker who files a claim for unemployment insurance benefits is a claimant. E-mail Unemployment Insurance for more information.
