Benefit Payment Options - Direct Deposit or Check
Benefit Payment Options - Direct Deposit or Check
1. How do I receive my Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits?
The Maryland Department of Unemployment Insurance offers two options for receiving your benefits: direct deposit or check mailed to you. You choose your preferred payment method when you file your initial claim (also known as filing for UI benefits).
- For more information about filing an initial claim, see the Claim File - Initial Claim section of this website.
After your initial charge, you can change your payment method through:
-
Beacon Online UI system. To do this, log into Beacon. In the "Quick Actions" section of the Beacon portal homepage, select "Change Payment Method" and follow the prompts. You can find your Beacon payment method in the "Payment Information" section of the portal homepage.
- To learn more about Beacon, visit the Beacon section of this website and the Tutorial Videos page.
2. Why the UI benefit payment method was transferred to an account transfer
In the spring of 2021, the division moved to an account transfer from a debit card payment method. The Division has launched this new system to provide the claimant a safe and efficient payment payment and ensure the perfection of the unemployment insurance program.
- The claimant refers to the individual who makes the first claim for the UI benefit.
Direct deposits are safe and convenient for electronic remittance directly to the beneficiary's bank account. The claimant is strongly encouraged to subscribe to an account transfer if the financial institution has a current account or a regular deposit account and the financial institution is supporting an account transfer.
Note: On February 1, 2022, all UI benefit cards in Maryland were invalidated. If the debit card has a balance before being disabled, contact the Bank of American service center (855-847-2029).
3. How can I choose an account transfer or a check as a payment method?
You need to select the desired payment method (account transfer or paper check) at the time of the first claim. (Online UI Beacon system or insurance claim (telephone: 667-207-6520, Monday-Friday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm)).
- Note: In order to protect personal information, the person in charge of insurance claims, including insurance claims, cannot update or input bank account information.
- For more information about the initial insurance claim, see the insurance claim file on this website-the first insurance claim section.
After the first claim, you can change the payment method with the Beacon or Unemunt MD for Claimants mobile app (downloaded from iOS App Store or Google Play Store). You can select a payment method using the app, but you cannot use the app to complete the micrododit confirmation process (see the question 7 and 8 below). To complete the microdist process, you need to log in to Beacon.
To change the payment method in Beacon, select "Change Payment" in the Beacon portal quick action.
- If you select an account transfer, you will be asked to enter the details of the bank account.
- If you select a check, you will need to check your mailing address. Even if there is no change in the mailing address, be sure to do this.
4. I am interested in account transfer, but I do not have a bank account. What kind of method is there?
If you do not have an account with a financial institution but would like to select direct deposit as a payment method, you may consider opening an account with a bank or credit union.
For general information about bank and credit union accounts, read the Office of Financial Regulation's FAQs. For information about bank account options available to Marylanders, see the Maryland Bank's Cash Promotion Program in Maryland.
Please note that it is the consumer's responsibility to thoroughly research and consider the information provided by these financial institutions before opening an account. You may also contact the financial institution of your choice.
Note: If you have questions about a financial institution listed on the Bank of Maryland website, please contact the financial institution directly.
5. What information do I need to register for direct deposit?
The following information is required:
- Account type: This is usually a checking or savings account.
- Routing bank number: A number that identifies a bank or credit union. For checking accounts, this is usually a 9-digit number located in the lower left corner of your check. For savings accounts, the routing number is not usually listed, so you will need to contact your financial institution to find out the routing number.
- Account Number: For checking accounts, the account number is usually found only to the right of the bank number on the check. The account number may also be a series of digits following the check number. The number of digits in the account number varies by bank or credit union. Account numbers may also contain dashes, spaces, and letters, and must be included when entering account information. Savings account numbers must be listed on a statement or ledger.
- If a biller updates their information with their bank, it will take at least three business days for the changes to be reflected in Beacon's bank account verification process.
- However, if a biller updates their information in Beacon, it will be processed immediately.
After a biller updates their name or address (at least three business days if updated with their bank), they must re-enter their bank account information and select "Verify." Once the verification process is complete, the biller's direct debit registration is complete.
If Wells Fargo requires further verification of your bank account information, this will be done through a micro-transaction process. The purpose of this micro-deposit process is to make your bank account eligible to receive direct deposits. You will receive two deposits of less than $1 in your account, usually within 1-2 business days. You can view these in your bank account transaction history.
Note: One withdrawal will be made from your account. This withdrawal amount is equivalent to two micro-deposits. Although you can select direct deposit as a payment method in the Unemployment MD mobile app, you cannot use the mobile app to verify your micro-deposit. You must be logged in to Beacon to make a micro-deposit.
8. What do I do after the micro-deposit is in my bank account?
Once you receive the micro-deposit in your account, you will need to return to the Beacon portal to verify the amount. You will be prompted to follow the action item in the portal.
Note This can only be completed by accessing Beacon through your internet browser. You cannot verify your micro-deposit using the Unemployment MD for mobile claimants app.
9. What if my bank account information doesn't show up in the micro deposit process?
If your bank account information doesn't show up in the micro deposit process, there are two possible reasons:
- You entered your bank account information into Beacon, but didn't complete the micro deposit process by entering two micro deposit amounts into Beacon.
- You entered your bank account information into Beacon incorrectly, so the micro deposit wasn't deposited in your account.
- If you entered your bank account information within the last 5 days, check your bank account transaction history to confirm the micro deposit. Once your account is credited, complete the action item in the Beacon portal.
- If you entered your bank account details more than 5 days ago, check your bank account transaction history for small deposits. If you see money in your account, log in to the Beacon portal and complete the action item. The action item will remain in the portal until you complete it. You have completed the small deposit verification process. 2. You have entered new bank account information. ή, 3. You have changed your payment method. If your bank account information was entered incorrectly:
- You will need to restart the enrollment process to receive your benefits via direct debit.
- Log in to Beacon. Under "Quick Actions" select "Change Payment Method".
- Select "Pay my benefits via direct debit" and enter your bank account information.
- Once your bank account information is verified, the Beacon portal will display the following message: Your payment method has been updated.
- You will need to log in to the Beacon portal.
- Click "Change Payment Method" (under "Quick Actions" on the home page).

- If you selected "Check" as your new payment method, you will need to verify your mailing address in Beacon whether your mailing address has changed or not.
14. How can I tell if I was paid for a week?
Log in to Beacon and select "Benefit Payment" from the left menu, then "Payment History". You can review your payment history in this section.

For more information and/ or documents that require submission, see the information and documents required on the website of the insurance claim.
4. What kind of payment do you need to report at the time of the first claim? How does these payments affect my benefits?
At the time of the first claim, you have to tell you the payment you have received or you know. This includes retirement, holidays, holidays, bonuses, retirement allowances, fees, benefits, and special payments. If you do not report these payments, the division may be overpaid and request overpaid benefits (with interest, fines, or penalties). For more information about overpayment, see questions about overpayment and fraud.
- If you receive the above payment, your benefits may be reduced or rejected (the week affected by the payment). If you receive a backpay from a previous employer, your UI benefit will be rejected (the week to be paid backpay).
Holidays, holidays, bonuses, bonus payments, refunds / damages, or special payment-If you receive a vacation, holiday, bonus, refund, loss, / or other special payment as possible after submitting the first claim Please report to the claimer as soon as possible and contact the 207-6520 (667). Please refer to the claimer contact web page for the business hours of the claimer. For weeks where these payments affect, the benefits may be reduced or rejected.
Severance Pay - If you receive severance pay after you have filed your initial claim, you must report it by calling the claims professional at (667) 207-6520. Do not report severance pay as wages when you file your weekly claim certification. Severance pay is deducted from your UI benefits (based on the number of weeks of regular pay that are covered by your payroll). After you have exhausted your severance pay, you may receive UI benefits if you are eligible.
Severance Pay - Lump sum or monthly severance pay (from an employer you worked for in the past 18 months) must be reported on your initial claim. These payments may be deductible from your UI benefits, depending on the amount paid and the type of severance pay.
- Severance pay includes pensions, severance pay, and retirement benefits (trusts, annuities, profit-sharing plans, insurance funds, insurance contracts, annuities, or similar lump sums or periodic payments).
- If you receive a severance pay for the first time after you have filed your initial claim and the severance pay has not been previously reported to the department, you must report the severance pay on your weekly claim certification. You must also report any changes in the amount of the severance pay.
NOTE: You do not need to report Social Security income on your initial claim or weekly claim certification.
IMPORTANT: Depending on your situation, you may need to report additional payments/income (including income from employment, self-employment, etc.) on your weekly claim certification. See Maryland Unemployment Insurance. For more information, see A Guide to Reviewing and Filing Claims - Weekly Claims Certifications FAQS on the Claimant's website.
5. How do I determine if I am eligible for UI benefits?
When you file your initial claim, your financial and non-credit eligibility to receive UI benefits will be determined. To be financially eligible for UI benefits, you must have earned wages in covered employment for at least two calendar quarters of the base period (standard or alternative). For more information on base periods, see questions 9 and 10 (What is the standard base period and what is the alternative base period?)
The target employment is all services provided for reward (payment) regardless of whether it is full time or par t-time, and is used as the basis of user interface benefits. If an individual provides services for the employer in exchange for wages, the individual is likely to be eligible for the purpose of the user interface. A specific status like an independent contractor is excluded from the target employment. For exclusions, see the general contribution information and definition of the employer user interface.
In order to judge whether you are qualified, the employer is from the user interface benefits, whether you leave the job, whether you can work, whether you can work, or if you are actively looking for a job. Investigate whether you have received a deduction payment (vacation allowance, holiday allowance, special allowance, retirement allowance, retirement allowance, backpay, retirement allowance, etc.).
6. What happens if you work in a state or multiple states other than Maryland?
If the past 18 months of work is in a state other than Maryland, you will be charged to the state. The state law applies to your claim.
If you work in Maryland or other states, you can claim any of the working states and have a financial qualification. You can also request the sum of the wages of the working state and request a total wage. By multiplying wages, the amount of wages may increase the amount of wages per week. Wage combined requests can be submitted online through Beacon or submitted by calling 667-207-6520.
7. If you work in another state and live in Maryland, where should I submit an invoice?
If you work in another state and live in Maryland, you must submit an invoice in your working state. The user interface claim will be made to the states that were hired, not the resident.
8. Is the user interface payment eligible for taxation?
Yes, the user interface benefits are subject to federal tax and state tax. In the first claim procedure, you can deduct both Federal Tax (10 %), Maryland State (7 %), (17 %), or tax.
Note: Select the withholding option at the time of the first claim. If you want to change your tax selection after submitting the first invoice, you can change it with Beacon.
When filing an income tax, you need to report the amount of user interface benefits received. For more information, see the 1099-G information website.
9. What is the reference period?
The standard standard period is the first quarter of the past 5 calendar quarters before the request for the claim. The wages earned in these quarters will be used to determine if you have the UI benefit.
Note: Your startup date is Sunday of the week when the first claim was submitted. For example, if you submit an invoice on Wednesday, March 4th, your effect will be on March 1st (Sunday).

Job Exchange Information for Employees
Job Exchange Information for Employees
- 1. What is Job Sharing? Job sharing (WS) is a voluntary unemployment insurance program that provides employers with an alternative to layoffs when faced with a temporary and unexpected economic downturn. Instead of implementing a complete layoff for some employees, employers can divide available work hours among a group of employees. This allows employees to continue working reduced hours. While their work hours are reduced, they can receive partial Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits. They can also choose not to participate.
- 2. If an employer reduces work hours, can I apply for WS benefits? Only employers can set up a WS plan. Individual employees cannot. They can inform their employers of the existence or non-existence of a WS plan. If an employer is not eligible or does not want to participate in WS, they can receive regular UI benefits if their work hours are reduced.
3. Are there always reasons why an employer cannot participate in WS? yes.
WS is not a means for employers to deal with issues such as seasonal or periodic suspension, inventory management, model change, and equipment maintenance.
- WS does not intend to use the UI benefit to continuously make up the salary.
- 4. Are you eligible to receive WS benefits? The qualifications are as follows:
- In Maryland, he is legally eligible to receive regular UI benefits and has not exhausted the right to receive regular UI benefits.
- Dui meets all the legal requirements for paying the UI benefit. You have to work, but in the case of WS, you must work with the current employer and do not need to ask other employers to work.
- Being able to work for normal working hours.
- Working for at least three months under the employer who has approved the WS plan.
- Being hired in ful l-time or ful l-time par t-time. Temporary employees and seasonal employees are not eligible.
- 5. How much do you get every week? This depends on how many hours a week you worked with the WS employer or the weekly UI benefit.
- You will be paid for the number of hours you worked every week. For example, if the employer reduces your working hours by 20 % and works 80 % of the normal working hours, you will receive 80 % of the normal wage from the employer.
- WS Benefit payment is calculated using a shortening rate of working hours. If working hours are reduced by 20 %, WS benefits will be 20 % of the UI benefit amount.
- Here are some examples:
- You usually work 40 hours a week and have a $ 500 income. The employer has reduced your working hours by 20 %. You receive 80 % of the employer and $ 400 a week.
- WS benefits are 20 % of UI benefits and $ 50 per week.
- Total of the week = $ 450
- If there are dependents stipulated in the UI, you can receive an additional 8 additional allowance for five dependents.
- 6. How is the benefits paid? The benefits are paid by an account transfer or paper check.
- WS benefits are not paid to employees / WS claimants until the employer and the client prove working hours. The employer must submit the proof information on a weekly basis and submit the proof information to the negotiations.
- Being hired in ful l-time or ful l-time par t-time. Temporary employees and seasonal employees are not eligible.
- Working for at least three months under the employer who has approved the WS plan.
- You work more or less hours than your approved plan.
- Regular UI benefits and WS UI benefits are calculated differently, so you may or may not receive benefits for that week.
8. If I take a week of vacation, what UI benefits will I receive? If you are not working for a WS employer and are unable to work during that week (vacation), you will not receive any type of UI benefits.
9. What happens if I use paid leave (sick, vacation, personal) during a WS week? What happens to the unpaid time?
If you do not take paid leave during a WS period, those hours will count as work hours for the purpose of calculating your WS benefits. However, you must do some work for your employer during that week.
If you take unpaid leave or do not work all the hours you are available, you may not receive unemployment benefits for that week. For example, if you are two hours late and are not paid for those two hours, you will not receive WS benefits for that week.
10. What if I am part of a union? If you are part of a union, you must have the consent of your collective bargaining agent. Employers must seek the consent of employees covered by the plan.
11. What happens to health, retirement, and other benefits while hours are reduced under WS? Affected employees are required to continue receiving benefits as if their hours were not reduced. However, if an employer reduces the benefit levels of its non-WS employees, the employer's WS employees may also reduce the benefit levels to the same extent.
12. What should I do if my employer is approved for WS? The Examination and Trade Division will provide instructions to the employer at the start of the plan. The employer will then provide instructions regarding the claim. There is no need to contact the UI office to apply for weekly WS benefits. If you are regularly applying for UI benefits, you should contact your local office.
