Eligibility Requirements for Maryland Unemployment Benefits You must be unemployed through no fault of your own, as defined by Maryland law. You must have earned at least a minimum amount in wages before you were unemployed. You must be able and available to work, and you must be actively seeking employment.
In Maryland, you may be disqualified from unemployment if you: Voluntarily resign without cause. Are terminated due to misconduct. Refuse to accept suitable work.
You can file an initial claim either: in the online BEACON UI system, available 24/7; or, by calling a claims agent at 667-207-6520.
If you haven't received your benefits within 21 days, try contacting the claims center by phone or email. The claims centers are open from a.m. to p.m., Monday through Friday, and on Saturdays from a.m. to p.m. To contact a claim center, call 410-949-0022.
The weekly benefit amount in Maryland is 1/24 of your earnings in the highest quarter of your base period. The minimum weekly benefit amount a Marylander could receive is $50 and the maximum is $430. If you collect income while on unemployment benefits, Maryland will disregard $50.
After you file an initial claim, you will receive a Statement of Wages and Monetary Determination form, which will tell you whether or not you are eligible for UI benefits. This form will show your base period employer(s), wages earned from each employer, and your weekly benefit amount (WBA).
