In Maryland, individuals who are incarcerated are generally not eligible to collect unemployment benefits. The state law specifies that unemployment benefits are intended for those who are actively seeking work and available for employment, which is not the case for individuals who are incarcerated. Therefore, if someone is in prison or jail, they cannot legally receive unemployment benefits during that time.
