MARYLAND MANUAL 175
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. The law provides for an experience-rating system under which employers who maintain steady employment are eligible for reduction in the rate of contributions. All funds collected under the law are deposited with the Federal Treasury for the credit of the Unemployment Trust Fund of Maryland and may be used only for the payment of benefits. Employment Service Division This is a staff division concerned with Employment Service technical functions. It is responsible for the development of programs, the evaluation of Employment Service activities, and the staff supervision of such functions as counseling; aptitude testing; employer relations and placement; and services to older workers and the handicapped. It furnishes job analysis and related service directly to employers. The Employment Service Division cooperates with the Governor's Com- mittee to Promote Employment of the Handicapped; the Baltimore City Committee on Aging and Problems of the Aged; the Committee on the Economic and Employment Problems of the Aging of the Mary- land State Conference of Social Welfare; the Baltimore Council of Social Agencies; the Maryland Commission for the Prevention and Treatment of Juvenile Delinquency; the Committees on Correctional Services and the State Coordinating Commission on Problems of the Aging. The Division also operates the Youth Opportunity Center and screens personnel for Job Corps. Appeals Division This Division, under the supervision of a director responsible to the Board of Appeals, conducts hearings on all appeals filed by claimants or employers from the determinations of claims examiners in the Department's local offices.
