Edd Overpayment Defense Strategy

EDD OVERPAYMENT DEFENSE

I WORKED AS A EMPLOYEE FOR CA. Butte County IHSS In home support services as a I am a Provider of IHSS services as a caregiver, my mother Jeanie Smith was a Recipient

Between */*/* - */*/* Working for IHSS with the same Recipient Jeanie Smith as a in home caregiver which she was my mother my Income estimated during the dates noted were $*,*.* gross EDD DEDUCTIONS $*,*.*. In */* It was announced COVID PANDEMIC had started infecting thousands and people were dying by the thousands within a few months later. EDD changed policies due to covid and people that would not normally qualify for edd benefits were now allowed to claim self employment /gig jobs /hobby income etc for PUA benefits. I did not lose my work from home regular employment but I recycled as a hobby and that income was effected but it was in no relation to my employment Hobby is a choice to a spare time recreation which was recycling for me in return for using spare time to help the panet and get some fresh air and exercise the state rewarded the act of recycling with cash for gathering and bringing to recycle center for petty money It was not employment but EDDmade a exception during covid to claim as income I did not report my job income because it was no relation to Hobby. My Reciept my mom that i cared for through IHSS had been dianoised with terminal cancer so she was getting worst on the EDD form to certify every * weeks i marked i was not available to work or look for work. EDD had already sent $* for hobby pua lost of income my mother had gotten worse and also got covid when i marked wasnt available i shouldve immediatly been disqualified but edd broke their own policy and procol and continued to send checks . JEANIE SMITH my mom passed away on */*/* . I filed for benefits for working from * till */*/* edd denied my claim because they said i wasnt employed during *-*/*/*. In eddoerpayment they said i didnt qualify because i didnt report my job employment . The edd benefits were not for loss of job but hobby i misunderstood . I have appealed their overpayment decision to the point passed LAW JUDGE DECISION I am at the second teir level i have 6 months from August *, * to request a writ of mandate and request all fees court and filing be wavied due to I am a section * pertisipant and have limited income can only physically work pt with no savings or possessions but i feel that the facts that need to be considered is that i worked long hard years with very little assistance emotional stress and earned every dollar with sweat and tears having to see and live with effect of mother going through deteration of her mind and body dementia is no joke neither is cancer then covid added to it in the end $*,*. was paid to edd out of my gross income this was never mentioned in overpayment #* also EDD made a false statement on the edd over payment transcript that I never explained why i wasnt able and available for work #*

THEN EDD stated on transcript that I WASNT AVAILABLE FOR WORK BECAUSE I WAS TOO INVOLVED WITH MY SELF EMPLOYMENT OF RECYCLING{ THEY LIED TO TRY TO DISCREDIT ME INTENTIONALLY(when in fact i never made that statement they assumed it wasnt a valid testimony because i never quoted that and wasnt possible because ALL RECYCLE STATIONS HAD BEEN CLOSED DOWN DUE TO PANDEMIC #* When in fact i was at home taking care of my dying mother only living realtive i have on her death bed and was not claiming so that edd would not send any more checks but they ignoed my claim of not available sent check anyway the denied my claim after mother passed and saifd it was because i wasnt employed between *- */*/* which was inncorrect i was employed by ihss as caregiver for Jeanie Smith my mom from */*/* - */*/* #* EDD wrongfully denied my benefit that was taken from my income of estimated deduction of $*,*.* over 11 years income of $*,*.* and they are suing me for $*,* plus interest $* . #* how am i the theif . #* it seems I AM OWED alot more than $*,*. So as my advisor I need help with putting all this information in a legal conviencing contex because it is reality that was not addressed in the entire case against me and needs to be inmy defense and have edd show some accountability not dening my claim and using the excuse i wasnt employed during the time they staed was the reason also they falsly accused /assumed and made false statement in transcript to intentionally to try and discredit me which that alone should be reason enough to dismiss my case of overpayment and award me some comphensation for the $*.* that was taken and edd needs to acknowlege that this is a unfair advantage that needs to be voted on by amercians that are overpaying and getting bearly anything in return #* i am on a tight time limit to get this request for writ of mandate and request for fee and court cost waived and edd overpamted dismissal due to new info on writ also hardship that is already current in place for defendant.

yes please everything
