Fraud: If the EDD finds that you intentionally gave false information or withheld information and, as a result, received benefits that you should not have received, the overpayment is considered fraud.

How much does Edd deduct from your weekly pay?
Since your weekly earnings are more than $100, the first 25 percent does not apply. If you meet all eligibility requirements, you will be paid $165. If you receive Temporary Total Disability or Vocational Rehabilitation Maintenance Allowance, the EDD deducts it from your weekly benefit amount.
Do you have to report work to the EdD?
Report work only if you earn wages and expect to receive pay for the work performed. The EDD collects employment data from employers and can detect unreported wages, so it is important that you report any earned wages to avoid committing UI fraud.
