Eligibility for unemployment insurance benefits cannot be determined until you actually file an initial claim. If you are unemployed, file your claim as soon as possible, as your eligibility begins the week in which you file your claim. Your claim becomes effective the Sunday of the week during which you apply for benefits.
You can file via the Internet at mdunemployment.com or by telephone using one of the telephone numbers listed on the Unemployment Insurance Home Page under “Claim Center Telephone Numbers.”
In addition, you must be unemployed through no fault of your own, be able to work, available for work, looking for full-time work, and willing to accept a job for which you are qualified.
How do I file for unemployment benefits?
YOU CANNOT FILE OVER THE INTERNET IF:
- You do not live in Maryland (unless wages earned during the past 18 months were from a work location within Maryland).

- You have worked for more than 3 employers in the last 18 months.
