Tax season is now underway, and millions of Americans are beginning to file their 2021 tax returns. This year, the tax filing process may look different, especially if you are a member of one of thousands of households who received the historic monthly Child Tax Credit payments last year, or Economic Impact Payments from the American Rescue Plan. The deadline to file taxes is April 18, 2022, but the sooner you start your process the better to avoid any delays in receiving a refund.

Today, Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05), Senators Chris Van Hollen (MD) and Ben Cardin (MD) and Congressmen Dutch Ruppersberger (MD-02), John Sarbanes (MD-03), Kweisi Mfume (MD-07), Anthony G. Brown (MD-04), Jamie Raskin (MD-08), and David Trone (MD-06) urged the Maryland Department of Labor to apply for a new program funded by the American Rescue Plan to improve the state’s unemployment insurance system, in the wake of the severe delays and errors encountered by tens of thousands of unemployed Marylanders amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The lawmakers’ offices have heard from thousands of their constituents who have struggled to receive their unemployment benefits from the Maryland Department of Labor. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, during 2020 and 2021 Maryland only disbursed 59.2 percent of initial payments for unemployment benefits within 21 days, below the national average of 65 percent for the same time period.
