The Department is headed by an Executive Director appointed by the Governor for a six-year term (Code 1957, Art. 96A, 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). Unemployment Insurance Division This Division supervises the Unemployment Insurance Program carried out by the local office. The Unemployment Insurance Division also collects contributions from employers covered by the Maryland Unemployment Insurance Law, collects quarterly wage information on the employees of these employers, determines weekly benefit amounts in accordance with this wage information, issues benefit checks to local offices, reviews benefit payments to determine if any were improperly made, recovers improper payments, and pays benefits to individuals who formerly worked in Maryland, but who reside in other states, as provided by a reciprocal interstate agreement.
