Since day one of the federal government shutdown, I’ve worked closely with Team Maryland to respond quickly and responsibly. Here’s what we’re doing to continue supporting our workers and families through these times:

* Activating emergency resources for furloughed federal employees, including the Maryland Department of Labor Federal Shutdown Loan Program and the Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees program for furloughed federal workers

* Monitoring direct economic impacts in real time to ensure the state can continue to respond where support is most needed

* Working across agencies to protect essential programs and maintain stability for workers, veterans, and families

Maryland is home to hundreds of thousands of federal employees and contractors who work for our agencies and state every day. They deserve stability, not chaos, and we are prepared to do our part. We won’t wait for Washington to act when Marylanders need our help now.

As we continue to assess the impacts and identify new ways to continue supporting those affected, I encourage you to visit [link removed] and [link removed] for up-to-date information and available resources.

If you have friends or neighbors who are furloughed, check in on them, send them a message, and keep in touch. Thank you for being part of the solution in our state.

My very best,

Brooke
