RECALCULATION OF CALENDAR YEAR 2024 TAX RATES

Due to an administrative reinterpretation of Labor & Employment Article §
8-606(d), the Maryland Division of Unemployment Insurance has recalculated the
Annual Tax Rate for Calendar Year 2024 for all earned and standard rate
employers. As in calendar years 2022 and 2023, the Division of Unemployment
Insurance has compared two different methods of computing the tax rate (one
based on pre-pandemic experience and one based on immediate past years’
experience) and assigned the lower of the two rates to each earned and standard
rate employer. 

The vast majority of employers are not affected by this recalculation. No
employer should see a rate increase by this recalculation. All employers’ rates
are either unchanged or lowered from the rate provided in the original 2024 Tax
Rate Notice sent in January. (New employers do not have the necessary years of
history to use the alternate computation method as they do not have pre-pandemic
experience.) 

If you are an employer affected by the recalculation, your new UI tax rate will
appear in your BEACON employer portal Wednesday, March 27th. All employers will
receive a new 2024 Rate Notice in their BEACON portal by Monday, April 1, and
notice of the correspondence will be sent to each employer in accordance with
their preferred method of communication (texts and emails alerting employers of
the correspondence will be sent when the correspondence is available on the
BEACON portal, while hard copy letters will be mailed Monday, April 1). The
correspondence will explain the recalculation and provide other information,
including the right to dispute or appeal the rate. 

If you have already paid your contributions for Quarter 1 of 2024 and your rate
was lowered by the recalculation, you will receive a credit for the difference
that can be used towards a future payment. The correspondence will provide
further details about how to request a refund instead of receiving credit for
future payment. 

More information about this recalculation is available on the Recalculation of
Calendar Year 2024 Tax Rates FAQs webpage.

Recalculation of Calendar Year 2024 Tax Rates Powerpoint Presentation.

letters are sent to employers who were previously informed that they owe

the Assessment Notice and Pending Civil Action letter. Please note that the
Division seeks to assist employers in paying quarterly unemployment insurance
taxes. 

 * The Division offers payment plan options. See the Maryland's Unemployment
   Insurance Payment Plans webpage to learn more.

   the reports and paying applicable contributions or opting into a payment
   plan.

   include at least one job contact; and,
