Social and Economic Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Articles are due by March 10, 2021.
"For this issue of RSF, we invite original research contributions pertaining to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on socioeconomic inequality in the United States and in particular how pre-existing inequalities may have mediated the impact of the pandemic and in turn been exacerbated by the current crisis. We are particularly interested in studies that focus on how institutions, ranging from the health care system, corrections and criminal justice, childcare policies, social safety net programs, and labor market policies have either mitigated or exacerbated the impact of the pandemic on social and economic outcomes as well as studies that focus on the likely longer-term impacts of the pandemic on inequality in the United States."

Volunteer Opportunity for Grad Students
Judges Needed for Undergrad STEM Posters/Presentations
Graduate Students, our colleagues in the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) have asked for our help to find graduate students who can volunteer NEXT WEEK. Please consider this great opportunity to assist incredible STEM scholars in their journey!
Hello Friends of the USM LSAMP Community,
The 4th Annual Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) USM Research Symposium is taking place virtually on Friday, February 5th and Saturday, February 6th. Due to the global pandemic, we are going VIRTUAL and need judges to review pre-recorded oral and poster presentations from Monday, January 18 through Monday, January 25th. The three-six students who receive the highest marks from judges will be asked to present their research live on Friday, February 5th during a portion of our synchronous virtual conference.
The USM LSAMP Fall Research Symposium provides undergraduate and community college students within the University System of Maryland in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) with the opportunity to both view and present research through poster and oral presentations, while also enhancing their scientific development and STEM identity. Registrants will also participate in the Graduate School and Resource Exhibitor Fair, where they can network with graduate schools, find summer research opportunities, discover research and graduate school funding, and more!
Warmly,
The USM LSAMP Team

Maryland State of Emergency Resources
Resources & Tips- If you are a MD resident this affects YOU!
Good morning,
Governor Hogan renewed the State of Emergency on December 23, 2020. You can read the Proclamation here.
Economic Impact Payments: Legislation enacted on December 27, 2020, provides that the new stimulus payments to individuals will not be withheld to pay federal debts or to pay state child support enforcement orders and cannot be garnished by debt collectors.
Health Insurance Open Enrollment: Citing the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Governor Hogan announced Monday that the state’s special health insurance enrollment period will be reopened in January and extended through mid-March 2021. Eligible residents who did not participate in the state’s extended special enrollment period in 2020 may now opt-in to Medicaid or private health coverage plans through the Maryland Health Connection.
To enroll in health insurance through the marketplace:
1) Go online to MarylandHealthConnection.gov
2) Call 1-855-642-8572 to speak to someone who will walk you through this process.
Student Loans: The automatic suspension of principal and interest payments on federally held student loans has been extended and will expire on January 31, 2021.
Lifeline: Lifeline is a federal program that provides discounts for limited income consumers on their telephone and internet services. In Maryland the program is called Tel‐Life. See the attachment to learn more about Lifeline services and how to apply. As the program phases out monthly support for voice only in favor of broadband support, beginning December 1, 2020 Lifeline has lowered the voice-only support to $5.25.
Training: If you would like the Office of People's Counsel to provide free training to your organization on the current state of utilities, in depth look at OHEP applications, or little known utility consumer protections please feel free to reach out to me and we can discuss your agency needs.
Economic Impact Payments: The Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service have begun delivering a second round of Economic Impact Payments as part of the implementation of the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021. The initial direct deposit payments began last week and will continue through this week. Paper checks began being mailed December 30. Eligible individuals will receive an Economic Impact Payment of up to $600 for individuals or $1200 for married couples and up to $600 for each qualifying child. Generally, if you have adjusted gross income for 2019 up to $75,000 for individuals and up to $150,000 for married couples filing joint returns and surviving spouses, you will receive the full amount of the second payment. For filers with income above those amounts, the payment amount is reduced. For more information
check out the press release from the U.S Department of the Treasury.
Unemployment: On December 27, the federal COVID-19 relief package that extends and provides additional federal unemployment benefits was signed into law. Labor has reviewed the legislation and is working with the vendor to begin programming the four extended and additional programs in the BEACON system. An overview of the four programs can be found attached to this email or you can check it out here. However, the department is waiting to receive complete and detailed guidance from the U.S. Department of Labor for each program before it can be implemented and paid in Maryland. States cannot move forward without this guidance and it is likely that guidance will be issued early in the new year. As the guidance is received, Maryland will modify the BEACON system and implement each program. The department will send an email directly to all claimants with instructions as soon as they may file for benefits from the extended and additional programs. For more information, please visit the MD Division of Labor website.
Utility Assistance: The Public Service Commission issued consumer protections around turn-off notices and payment plans. Some of these protections include 12 and 24 month payment plans which might be especially helpful right now for some households. The Office of People's Counsel has summarized these rulings here.
If you are struggling to pay your utility bill there may be resources available to help.
