EDD workers and inmates are accused of a fraud.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Among the more than $110 billion in unemployment benefits California has paid this year to people who lost their jobs because of the coronavirus, $21,000 went to an address in Roseville under the name and Social Security number of U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
The Bank of America, which contracts with the state to provide benefits to people on debit cards, flagged the claim for possible fraud. Federal investigators later found at least $2 million worth of fraudulent unemployment claims had been filed from that same address, which they said were all linked to a woman who once worked for the state unemployment agency until she was fired in 2018.

A California woman has been accused of claiming $21,000 in coronavirus unemployment benefits under Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein s name, according to Politico.
Andrea M. Gervais, 43, a former employee of California s Employment Development Department, allegedly conducted a mail fraud scheme involving 100 fraudulent state unemployment claims under other peoples names, including the name of a U.S. senator, according to a federal complaint. The U.S. Attorney’s Office is committed to the mission of combatting fraud that abuses the provisions of the CARES Act, U.S. Attorney McGregor W. Scott said in a Thursday statement. We will work with every major law enforcement agency to investigate and prosecute the fraud arising out of the pandemic. This theft of taxpayer dollars intended to assist our citizens in a very difficult economic time simply will not be tolerated.
