UKIAH, Calif. The EDD has been denounced for paying billions of dollars in fraudulent claims. That includes more than $800 million paid to jail inmates running a scam from behind bars.
Now as it tries to block those payments, EDD has mistakenly accused honest workers of being in jail and cut off their benefits.
Law-abiding workers have been collecting unemployment for months. Suddenly, the EDD is telling some of them they can t have benefits after all, because they are in jail. But they are not and in these cases, they never have been.
