I currently live and work in Orange County, California.
From 2007-2010 I worked for a company out of Los Angeles. I was laid off due to a reduction in work force on May 25, 2010. The last week I worked 84 hours. When I received my last weekly check, I was only paid for 40 hours. I filed for EDD UI benefits on May 26, 2010. I started collecting UI benefits shortly thereafter. In June 2010 I received the backpay from my old employer. When I filled out my continued claim form for that week I received the backpay, I maxed out the earnings box at $999.999. Middle of Sept 2012 by benefits were cut off and I received a Notification of Eligibility Interview for Oct 21, 2010. During the interview I was asked about the payments I had received, over a four week period. I explained it was only one week period, case worker investigated the situation, found that it was a reporting error by my old employer, found that I was NOT AT FAULT, and reinstated my UI Benefits and also sent me a check for the entire period the benefits had been on hold. Eventually I got a new job and cancelled my UI Benefits.
May 16, 2012 I get a Letter of Determination from the EDD saying they found I was AT FAULT for the above referenced issue and I owed an over-payment of $1600 plus penalties and that I was penalized 9 weeks of UI Benefits next time I applied.
May 21, 2012 I filed an appeal with the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board.
May 27, 2012 I get an Acknowledgement of Appeal filing letter from the CUIAB.
I never heard back from them, I assumed incorrectly that they had looked into the case and resolved it as it had already been resolved before.
On April 1, 2013 I received my 2012 Federal Tax Refund and there was a deduction of $2600+ from the EDD. So I started looking into why???
On April 3, 2013 I filed for UI Benefits, was approved for $450/wk, but was told I had a 9 week waiting penalty.
On April 4, 2013 I filed another appeal with the CUIAB, my hearing date was July 2, 2013.
On July 9, 2013 I was notified by mail that the Administrative Law Judge decided the case in my favor, I WON!!
So what do I do now to get my $2600+ that was withheld from my tax return and my $4050 (9 x $450) from the EDD???
Please help!!
Thank You!!
