Got a call today from California EDD because my former employer is disputing my claim from September 2020- September 2021. They said I might have to pay back 28-36k because I refused work when they reopened during Covid. I told the employer I wasn’t coming back because I was a full time student. I told Edd I didn’t go back because I didn’t feel safe (which is true), it was a bartending/security position. Can anyone offer some advice on how to appeal this or does anyone have a similar experience? I read in Edd website that concern for illness is grounds to refuse work, I think that can apply to me what do you think?
