Employer Payment Plans - Unemployment Insurance

Employers may request to pay their quarterly contributions through a payment plan (plan options are listed below).

Requests for payment plans should be made by the quarterly tax and wage report due dates: April 30, July 31, October 31, and January 31 (if the end of the quarter is a Saturday or Sunday, the due date is the next business day).

Payment plan options include:

Plan #1:

• Quarterly tax return and wage report filed on time;
• 50% of tax paid when the quarterly return is filed;
• Remaining tax due is spread over three equal monthly installments, due on the last day of the next three months;
• Note that the last installment of this plan coincides with the due date of the next quarter, and unless another payment plan is in place, the reports must be filed and the tax must be paid by the due date.

NOTE: The last installment of this plan coincides with the next quarterly due date. Unless another payment plan is in place, the reports and taxes for the next quarter must be filed and paid by the regular due date.

Plan #2

• Any individual plan established with the Maryland Division of Unemployment Insurance (Division).

You may request a payment plan via BEACON. To do so, log in to select Payments from the left menu, and then select Payment Plan.

Select the New icon at the bottom of the screen and follow the prompts to request a new payment plan.
