Subject: Unemployment benefits help request — Maryland (found via BenefitsPath.org)

Hello,

I found you through BenefitsPath.org, a free website that helps people understand unemployment benefits. BenefitsPath is not a law firm and is not connected to your office. It listed you as a place that may help people in Maryland with unemployment benefit problems, so I'm reaching out directly.

A quick summary of my situation:
- State: Maryland

Could you tell me whether you can help with this (or who can), whether there is any cost for a first conversation, and what I should do next? If there is an appeal deadline, I want to make sure I don't miss it.

Thank you,
[Your name]
