The following letter to Director of Government Affairs Paul Fiore explains the new Unemployment Insurance Employer Assistance Initiative:

Dear Paul,
Following up on your request, I wanted to provide information for you about the Unemployment Insurance Employer Assistance Initiative.
In this economic time, the Division has implemented an initiative to assist employers that may find themselves in a position of financial hardship. The Division seeks to assist employers in paying quarterly unemployment insurance taxes for the first quarter of 2010, due April 30, 2010. A similar initiative will be in place for the second quarter obligations due on August 2, 2010.
Payment plan options are:
Plan #1:
-
Quarterly Tax Return and Wage Report filed timely;
-
50% of Tax paid when the Quarterly return is filed;
-
Remaining tax due is spread over three equal monthly installments, due on the late day of the next three months;
-
Note that the last installment of this plan coincides with the due date of the next quarter, and unless another payment plan is in place, the reports and tax must be filed by the due date;
Plan #2:
-
Quarterly Tax Return and Wage Report filed timely;
-
Tax due is spread over 6 equal monthly installments, with the first installment due on the Quarterly due date;
-
Note that this plan overlaps the due date of the next quarter, and unless another payment plan is in place, the reports and tax for the overlapped quarter must be filed and paid by the due date;
Plan #3:
-
Quarterly Tax Return and Wage Report filed timely;
-
Tax due is spread over 9 equal monthly installments, with the first installment due on the Quarterly due date;
-
Note that this plan overlaps the due date of the next two quarters, and unless another payment plan is in place, the reports and tax for the overlapped quarters must be filed and paid by the due date;
Plan #4
Our rate letters will be mailed next week to all employers. These rate letters will contain specific information for employers to contact our office to set up a payment plan. We are asking employers who are interested in a payment plan to contact the Division’s Skip Trace and Investigations Unit at 410-767-2525 or send an e-mail to the unit at: www.uitaxskip@dllr.state.md.us. At the end of the payment installments, interest will be waived as long as all payments were made according to the payment plan. For employers who need special assistance, I would encourage you to have them contact Ms. Betty Mull, Chief of Tax Enforcement, at 410-767-2409.

The following is a message from Director of Member Relations Kirk McCauley:
All members that perform Maryland State Inspections should be aware that The State of Maryland has delayed the use of the window tinting tool by inspection stations. Some members have told me they were told it will be a year’s delay in implementing the window tinting inspection, and I will be checking to see if that is accurate. I wanted to get this out now so that members who have not yet bought window tinting equipment could decide if they want to delay that purchase at this time. I will get an update from the Maryland State Police and inform you of their response as soon as I can. Also, input from our members is welcome and can be e-mailed to me at kmccauley@wmda.net.
