Fulfilling his commitment to stimulate job creation and help put unemployed Marylanders back to work, on March 26, 2010, Governor Martin O'Malley celebrated the passage of the Job Creation and Recovery Tax Credit. Starting March 29, employers can apply online to create or save Maryland jobs.
"How To" Webinar (30 minute presentation - please have patience for launch)
With the Job Creation & Recovery Tax Credit, Maryland employers may be able to save up to $5,000 by hiring certain employees into new positions.
- All employees must be Maryland residents hired between March 25, 2010 and December 21, 2010.
- Individuals at the time of hire must be receiving unemployment insurance benefits or have exhausted their benefits in the previous 12 months and must not be working full time immediately preceding the date of hire.
- Employees must be hired into full-time, newly created positions, or full-time positions that had been vacant for at least 6 months.
