The Department of Employment Security, established by Chapter
314, Acts of 1937, administers the Maryland Unemployment Insurance
Law. The Department is headed by an Executive Director appointed
by the Governor for a six-year term (Code 1957, Art. 95A, sec. II).

Board of Appeals

A three-man Board of Appeals, appointed by the Governor for six-
year terms, hears appeals on claims for benefits, appeals that arise
under the taxing provisions of the Unemployment Insurance Law, and
other matters that require appellate adjudication (Code 1957, Art. 95A,
sec. 7g).

Advisory Council

The Governor appoints a State advisory council, and the Executive
Director appoints local advisory councils, consisting of an equal num-
ber of representatives from the public, the employer, and the employee.
The councils aid the Executive Director in formulating policies and
discuss with him problems that arise in the administration of the law
to insure impartial solutions of such problems (Code 1957, Art. 95A,
sec. 12).
