(CNN) Jobless residents of Maryland and Texas have filed lawsuits in state courts seeking to force their governors to reinstate pandemic unemployment benefits.
They join an effort begun by out-of-work Indiana residents, who have yet to see their payments restart despite a court ruling last week ordering the state to continue the benefits.
A judge in Maryland issued a temporary restraining order on Saturday morning requiring the state to continue paying the benefits that were set to end that day.

Last week, an Indiana judge ordered the state to restart federal unemployment benefits. But so far, the state hasn’t released any firm plans to follow that order as it asks a higher court to halt it.
Although the Court of Appeals agreed to hear the case, it could take anywhere from a week to a month before they issue any decisions. Meanwhile, the state argues an agreement to pay benefits between the Indiana Department of Workforce Development and the U.S. Department of Labor is over.
State lawyers say they’re not sure they can create a new one and a DWD spokesperson says there is no update.
