Maryland's Unemployment Department needs to be investigated

[investigateMDLabor @labor_md]

@dogs_dc hey Douglas, I've been looking for some guidance on getting help for mistreated pets, I've reached out to my local animal commission in Prince George's County and they've been slow to respond, any advice or resources? Thanks in advance.

I'm getting questions about the end of Maryland's state of emergency. That won't officially happen until AUGUST 15, as we reported in this story. The governor's messaging was not entirely clear on this point, leading to some confusion.

Can't wait to see/speak to a few of my elected officials on the campaign trail. Because...yeah.

@MD_Labor I don't think you thought this one through. Go back and read who falls under PUA and why. #MarylandUnemployment #SpecialSession

In case you missed it After declaring the state of emergency over July 1st, @GovLarryHogan renewed the state of emergency yesterday. https://t.co/5Y8uKYuwBO

With more than 72 percent of adults in Maryland having received at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccine, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) announced Tuesday that he will lift the covid-19 state of emergency on July 1. https://t.co/gEKJBild0F

In line with Summerfield’s remarks back in June, they’re pursuing the backpay case: https://t.co/tj8BaTChQK

Thank you so much!

[Public Justice Center @PublJusticeCntr]

We are thrilled to share that MDers will continue to receive federal COVID unemployment benefits through Sept. 6, thanks to a preliminary injunction issued today by Judge Lawrence Fletcher-Hill. https://t.co/robEyaIdZ0 1/3

[investigateMDLabor @labor_md]

I wondered the same thing. #MarylandUnemployment

NEW: Maryland Unemployed Workers Union plans to file an amended complaint next week and request an emergency hearing. They’re demanding the state pays claimants back pay they’re owed. They also plan to add more claimants to the lawsuit. @WMAR2News

[Robbie Leonard @RobbieLeonardSA]

“We learned just yesterday that the governor is using all of this taxpayer money to defend a lawsuit where the difference is a matter of just a couple of weeks,” said Robbie Leonard, a Baltimore attorney who helped represent the plaintiffs.

“I hope that Tiffany Robinson,” the state’s labor secretary, “properly instructs the staff on what’s going on with the legal proceedings so that nobody falls through the cracks and people continue receiving their benefits.”

[investigateMDLabor @labor_md]

Thankful for the win to keep federal benefits today. But the fight continues, there's so many of us barely holding on due to the poorly run BEACON system and fraud detection run amok, and other failings of @MD_Labor #KeepFighting

[Amy Simpson @AmySimpsonTV]

Alec Summerfield, pro-bono attorney who is working on the case, is speaking now.

“The litigation is not finished.”

Says there are tens of thousands who have not received any unemployment benefits.

[Mallory Sofastaii @mal_sofastaii]

#Maryland Unemployed Workers Union celebrating “tremendous victory” following preliminary injunction preventing Gov. Hogan from ending enhanced federal unemployment programs early. @WMAR2News

[Amy Simpson @AmySimpsonTV]

Sally Dworak-Fisher with @PublJusticeCntr speaking now.

“We are thrilled with this decision. Thrilled that hundreds of thousands of Marylanders will continue to receive benefits through September.”

Says they just learned there will not be further appeals by the State of MD.

[investigateMDLabor @labor_md]

@AmySimpsonTV @UHLocal7 Thanks for the heads up. Will this be livestreamed any where?

[investigateMDLabor @labor_md]

Thank you for fighting and continuing to fight! #MarylandUnemployment
