There are still thousands of stimulus checks in the state of Maryland that need to be claimed under the RELIEF Act.
The act was signed into law early in 2021 and gave individual filers $300 and households $500.
The payments were given to individuals who claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit in 2019.
