Last week, Assemblywoman Janet Nguyen was sworn into office in Sacramento and immediately announced a bill package she co-authored aimed at fixing the Employment Development Department (EDD).
“This pandemic has revealed the inefficiency of the EDD. Hard-working Californians who have lost their jobs are not receiving the help they need and instead, the money is going to prison-inmate scammers who are finding loopholes in the EDD’s weak system,” said Assemblywoman Janet Nguyen. “My colleagues and I have put together a bill package that will tackle these issues, hold the EDD accountable and get people the money they need to provide for themselves and their families during this difficult time.”
