Q: How do i get EDD IN CALIFORNIA to give me my unemployed benefits from a year ago
I was granted in Aug of 2020 374.00 a week.i had to do a 5 week penalty and pay 600.00 in fines. I completed the 5 weeks and paid the fine. I receive a notice that they switched my award over to the pandemic assistance and changed my award to 167.00 a week i asked a person whyv they did that she said probably so i wouldn't have to do the penalty faze i explained to her i already did my penalty thing. Finally after about a month they switched i t b ack to 374.00 but they had sent 4 payments of 167.00 talked to a tier 2 specialist twice and twice they said my back pay was approved the difference of the 2 plus was owed 2 more weeks never got my back pay or the other 2 weeeks i was owed. About 6 mos ago i think i received a notice in the mail of a judgement in favor of EDD for 600.00. What can i do to im really pissed because i never got my benefits . Their playing with people's lives and they dont care. I need help or ill do something drastic. Paul m
