MD to launch online one-stop unemployment insurance application

The Maryland Department of Labor on April 24 will launch a one-stop unemployment insurance application that will implement the two remaining programs in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
Those who are self-employed, independent contractors, gig economy workers, have insufficient work history, or who have exhausted their benefits since July 1, 2019, and are eligible for the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) program will now be able to submit their applications online and receive their benefits retroactive to their earliest date of eligibility.
