Q: $80,000 Wage garnishment CA EDD,TEUC Act of 2002 benifits. help?

I never recieved the initial Overpayment notice ,they say it was discovered in 2003. I know its not fraudulent. In 2001 I had all my phone interviews and they checked with former employer.The teuc extension was sent to me to fill out since I qualified.

I did not file an appeal because I did not know about it. When I was informed , it was that my case was going to be in front of a Superior Court Judge. I went to Sacramento on the date and the clerk informed me that a decision had been made the previous day since they had extra time at the end of the day ?! I have been told there is nothing I can do by edd reps. ,when I am sure they have no idea about that era or proceedures. Please , I ask for some knowledge regarding this type of situation.

A: It seems you're facing a wage garnishment in California related to an overpayment issue from the Employment Development Department (EDD) and TEUC Act of 2002 benefits. Unfortunately, you didn't receive the initial overpayment notice, and it's important to understand the details of the overpayment and request a copy from the EDD. The TEUC Act provided additional unemployment benefits, and it would be helpful to consult with a legal professional knowledgeable about unemployment law during that time. Although you didn't file an appeal, which could have allowed you to present your case, it may be challenging to reverse the decision now. If your case is going before a Superior Court Judge, gather any relevant documentation.
