Low-to-moderate income Marylanders who are Earned Income Tax Credit filers would qualify for this payment. That’s around 400,000 Marylanders.

The RELIEF Act also repeals state and local income taxes on unemployment benefits and makes a $300 million commitment to supporting small businesses with sales tax credits of up to $3,000 per month for four months, for a total of up to $12,000.
