 The Maryland Department of
Labor's Division of Unemployment Insurance has created four new video
tutorials to help users navigate the new BEACON One-Stop unemployment
system. The videos can be found online on the Department of Labor's social
media channels including YouTube, and their website.
The series of
videos first walks users through the process of activating and logging into
their account.
The next tutorial
walks users through the process of applying for the Pandemic Unemployment
Assistance (PUA) CARES Act program, which provides aid to residents who are
self-employed, independent contractors, sole proprietors, and gig economy
workers. The third tutorial focuses on Marylanders applying for the
Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC) CARES Act program, for
those who have recently exhausted their unemployment benefits and need to
file for an extension.
New Claimants and
individuals currently receiving benefits will automatically receive an
additional 13 weeks of benefits.
The final video in
the series walks claimants through the process of filing their weekly claim
certification.
