Marylanders still waiting for unemployment benefits are now suing Maryland Governor Larry Hogan

With the help of pro-bono lawyers, multiple Marylanders who are still waiting to receive pandemic unemployment assistance are now suing Governor Larry Hogan in an effort to halt the repeal of pandemic era federal unemployment assistance.

The Governor has promised to end the $300 COVID-19 federal unemployment benefits on July 3 amid complaints from business owners that they can’t find workers to fill positions. Doing so would also end the federal unemployment assistance about two months before the federal government had planned for funds to run out.

The class-action lawsuit, which also names Department of Labor Secretary Tiffany Robinson, was spearheaded by the Unemployed Workers Union (UWU) with goal of obtaining an injunction on the July 3rd deadline to end the $300 assistance. They’re also calling for immediate adjudication of all unemployment claims currently held-up in the system. UWU estimates there are over 30,000 people still waiting for benefits for various reasons.

The lawsuit names six plaintiffs who have faced complications filing for Maryland employment benefits. The attorneys behind the lawsuit say it will help everyone still waiting for assistance.

  1. Those who are getting this, need to get off their behinds and get a job. Everywhere is hiring, so quit complaining and get to work for a change.

  2. Get a job. Bring back the standards of being able to get unemployment benefits. To many government people or agencies trying to rig the system. Hard to tell what kind of free money is floating around from different agencies.

    1. This $$$$ ain’t FREE !!! Try it sometime < fighting the govt every week to get the $$$$ !!!!!!

      That IS a J O B !!!!

  3. Good !!! GET er DONE !!! TIme is running out !!!
    in meantime just get Feds to send $$$ Directly to people & BYPASS Maryland !!!! Federal Govt Step Up Now !!!!

  4. Stopping Relief & Benefits Authorized by Congress & the Federal Govt should be Illegal Period !!!

    States should not be allowed to or to have & handle the money !!!! Federal Govt should have sent the money
    Directly to the people like the Two other checks it sent to everyone & the states would Not be involved !!!

    Sept 2021 is the date the benefits are to Stop , NOT July 2021 !!! Make the States comply or send back the Money & Not be allowed to keep the people’s Money !!!!

  5. Make Maryland Pay people ALL the money left in their Unemployment accounts Until Sept 2021 as Congress
    Passed !!!

    Since WHEN , does ANY Relief Plan get Kept from the people ??? NEVER in History !!!!

  6. Qualified people in Maryland can’t even get their damn money During the Unemployment period !!!
    People have had to fight Maryland for over a Year to get their Money due them !!!!
    Hurdle after Hurdle , the Website , the Ignoring of calls , No way to contact the State Govt when needed !!!!

  7. Maryland & other states DENYING people of their Congress Approved Benefits , Stimulus , Unemployment Boost

    Illegal & Wrong !!!! This Won’t fill the crybaby jobs one bit , by screwing people !!!!

  8. What is under discussion here is NOT unemployment benefits. It is COVID RELIEF. People in Washington took taxpayer funds and gave it to the States to distribute it to those that COVID caused economic hardship for. For a Governor to come along and decide NOT to give it to the people Congress said it was for and spend it on something else is nothing short of stealing. Hogan is a thief for not returning the money to Congress (our tax $$).

  9. Paying the poor people for Two more months is Not hurting businesses !!!! Congress Approved it so YOU can go
    complain to them if you don’t like it !!!!

    These are Not the good jobs that pay enough to live on that are complaining !!! Good Jobs are FILLED !!!!!

  10. States going against Congress & the POTUS should be Illegal !!!! Stealing needed STIMULUS in a WorldWide
    Pandemic that has Killed over 500,000 people in America , which, is still NOT Over !!!!

  11. States been STEALING from Your Social Security since Johnson in the 60’s !!!!
    States STEAL from the Big Unemployment POT too when people don’t use it !!!!!

    STOP THE STEAL 2021 !!!!!!
