I was on Worksharing from 4/26/20 witch we send through our employer and we never got any thing back then we got laid off on 6/25/20 and start getting regular unemployment certifications while we were still on unemployment few months later I received several weeks certification I got confuse I talk to my employer they tried to call edd for almost a week but no answer so they sajusted I should go ahead and certify it and see what will happen when certified in my mind I was unemployed and not making money so for the answer where it’s ask did you make any money this week I said 0 and that is the mistake I made but it was so confusion from edd and now they said you are disqualified because you intentionally give wrong information so please someone help me with this please thanks

I hate PAN but kudos to him for helping this man get the money he deserves.

I owed them 25,000.00 at one point. Thank Science for Reddit. There was a subreddit about unemployment that gave up to date info for panicked people at the time. In the end, my horrible employer tried to cut me off but Seattle had pro bono lawyers who joined in on a three way call with the judge. When she heard his voice, she said "Who's that?" I said. THOSE ARE MY LAWYERS!!!" She shut up and my lawyers ripped her a new one. Efffing B.

The previous message really says it all. Unqualified edd reps, totally uninformed and completely lacks proper listening and communication skills.....

They did this to me to I been going through so much they said that it was reported I got $45 paid to me and I didn’t it’s not true and I haven’t seen any of my pay even my Edd certifications disappeared from my profile it’s so terrible
