He said the benefits, which add $300 a week, provided 'important temporary relief' during the coronavirus pandemic but are no longer necessary
Maryland will end enhanced federal unemployment benefits next month, Gov. Larry Hogan said, and require people getting unemployment checks to prove they are looking for new jobs.
He said the benefits, which add $300 a week, provided "important temporary relief" during the coronavirus pandemic but are no longer necessary. Neither the District of Columbia nor Virginia has moved to end the enhanced unemployment benefits. The Biden administration sought a way to keep paying the benefits to an estimated 3.6 million Americans who stand to lose them soon in Republican-led states, but administration officials concluded that they cannot legally do so. Hogan's decision was sharply criticized by Democratic state lawmakers.
"We made a commitment to the people of the state of Maryland," Davis said. "They made plans accordingly. For the state to do an about-face . . . it is really unfortunate."
