Maryland Department of Labor

Some of that qualifying like an eligible employee.

The Maryland Department of Labor like has all of the information and resources out, but Basically, you have had to have worked like 680 hours in Maryland.

It's not that high of a threshold to meet, but that would make you an eligible employee.

And then also kind of something to know about all of this.

And so I think I'll link some stuff from the Department of Labor as well.

Kiara Smith provided support services and allowed co-conspirators to use her work laptop to access and alter claims in the state agency system.

According to the DOJ, they changed claimants' contact information and payment details, removed fraud holds and approved claims using stolen money.

And basically so that others out there who might even be thinking about doing this kind of thing realize there is a great risk.

In a separate case, Katrina McCant, another former contractor for the company working with the Maryland Department of Labor, used her insider access to change claims, remove fraud holds, and direct some payments to accounts that she controlled.

She pleaded guilty in August and agreed to pay Maryland Labor $550,000 in restitution and forfeit at least $550,000.

Mm-hmm

... and, uh, helping through Maryland Department of Labor, creating certificate programs where we could teach those in recidivism and also community college students agro technology and agro business.

So teaching them how to build these things and then giving them a market of people who can purchase these things once they learn the skill.

So automatically giving them a market once they learn a skill trade, giving them a different product to sell-

Even the iconic Irish beer brand's Chicago Brewery is on a U.S. location.

November 1st marked the brewery's final day open to the public, leaving 174 Aramark employees out of work, going to a notice filed with the Maryland Department of Labor on October 1st.

The move

comes amid a billion-dollar restructuring plan at El Gallo, Guinness' parent company.
