Not on my computer they're not.

Perhaps they shouldn't come to you for help then.
Chris, when I hover over the URLs in that pdf, they do not indicate they are linked. When I click on them, nothing happens. My cursor does not change from text mode to click mode.
Tell me, oh wise one, what that indicates to you?

And I'm telling you that the complete opposite happens on my computer. They are links and they do take me to their linked page when clicked.
That indicates that something is wrong on your end and that they should not come to you for help.
#1- I don't have all day everyday to be sitting on the phone trying to get throug, and. I have actually emailed two or three times.
#2 -I'm doing some very productive activities while I am furloughed, which require my attention and involvement. I'm not getting paid to do them. Call them enrichment endeavors for my current career.
#3- I'm not going to entertain any comments such as those on a public forum about Mark Fisher. I don't know who you are in real life, nor do you have any inkling about me in real life. Suffice to say that he's already on this.
To be totally fair - no one wants him to find out "why they're not getting paid." I personally advocate for quite a few different types of causes in my community. One of my major concerns is that the state agency involved in taxation can act within one business day to remove money from my bank account - but the one agency that's in charge of compensating people for their unemployment - which is supposed to be what unemployment insurance is about -hasn't even been able to return a phone call or an email, much less answer a goddamned phone.
That should bother every citizen in the state, because those people work for us!

No, it indicates that my virus protection is doing its thing, but it doesn't block links in any of the dozens of pdfs I work with every day, which means it's something in the doc itself that's triggering the block.

Are you using Adobe? If so it's a preference setting.

I'm running Adobe, a VPN, and virus protection and can see the links.
I understand you don't and wasn't implying you're sitting on your ass all day with nothing to do. Personally, if I was owed what is likely a few thousand dollars, I'd find the time, but I'm the same guy that'll sit on the phone for hours to get Comcast to knock $40 off my bill.
There were over 47,500 UE claims in MD last week alone. With hundreds of thousands of cases to work through, it's going to take time, but since you are not seeing basic information at this point, I wonder if something didn't process correctly and you'd never know.

DO you have that info? It sure would be nice to set that up. None of the info my son has gotten said anything about direct deposit.

Never mind. I just saw the direct deposit info.

The URLs in the PDF show up as links for me.
I suspect that it is your browser that is the problem. Firefox - not recognized as a link; Edge - recognizes the link and is functional.
I can't get through and don't have time to dial a number all day, no matter how much money it is. I understand how many there are, but other states are processing theirs because my niece lives in Florida and hers was processed within two weeks and she was laid off two weeks after I was.
My main point is that I shouldn't have to sit on the phone for hours to get through. I completely understand that something is holding up my process. If I could get a hold of somebody I would be able to find out what that something is.

That means your case is open. You wouldn't be able to file the webcert if your case wasn't open and pending. I've been thru this awhile back. It took over 5 weeks and they weren't overloaded as bad as they are now.
Thanks for that information, Mitzi, I didn't know that.
I also contacted my PREVIOUS employer today (as it has been less than 18 months at my current employer) via email, and they, too, had filled out the paperwork on my claim that was needed and sent in on 3/30/20. (which is 6 days after I filed and a MONDAY, no less.) They were kind enough to actually get back to me in the same day. Imagine that. [/sarcasm]
So, that's 2 employers who were notified and REQUIRED BY LAW to provide DLLR the informatioin being requested and they were able to turn that paperwork around and send it back in to DLLR in less than a week.
Everything has stalled after that.
So, new information! 
I usually check DLLR's website everyday when I get up to see if there is any activity. (because the website only updates once a day and processes only overnight on weekdays)
In an effort to allow more people to apply, to make things more efficient, - they came up with this:
Good move finally! But Im apparently too early. I have to wait until 7am to even check anything.
