What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
I have an appeal hearing next week to address the issue of an UI overpayment that I received from EDD.
I performed a freelance design service for an agency during a week that I claimed benefits. This was the first time I had done this type of "short-term" job while on benefits. I did not receive the wages until AFTER the claim form had been filled out and sent in. It was completely my error not to list the job, but it did not cross my mind as I had not been paid for it yet.
I never denied to EDD that I did the work and immediately called in to set up repayment schedule once they sent me a notice. I was denied benefits for 6 weeks. I filed an appeal.
I am only appealing the 6 week denial, as I have 3 other accounts from other claimants that received an overpayment, and they were not charged a denial when they immediately agreed to make a repayment.
The issue that will be considered at the hearing is "Did the claimant WILLFULLY make a false statement or willfully fail to report a material fact in order to obtain benefits?" I do not believe I willfully made a false statement, I was just confused with the situation. I made an error, but not willfully.
What are my chances of getting the denial removed (I am in full agreement of the repayment), and what type of documents should I provide?
