Expert Advice When You Need It Most
How can I win my appeals case? Can the EDD tell me I can't work, when I can?!I was denied unemployment benefits from EDD after a phone interview where it was determined by EDD that I was unable to work full time hours as I am a full time student. While I worked for my employer 45 hrs a week, I was also a full time student so I did not attend schooling after being terminated from my position. So how can EDD determine that I'm unable to work full time when clearly I've done so before? How can I properly fight my case at the appeals board? What information do I bring? Will my employer be present during the hearing? Or am I only going against the EDD interview? Please help! Attorney answers (1)

The California Employment Development Department provides some guidance on the treatment of school attendance under the California Unemployment Insutance Code at: http://www.edd.ca.gov/UIBDG/Able_and_Available_.... It also provides a factsheet about the appeals process at: http://www.edd.ca.gov/pdf_pub_ctr/de8714f.pdf. I hope you find these resources helpful.
