Will EDD find out that he is working there again, that they hired him back? Or can we keep getting benefits at least for another month? (He was out of work for a while and we are behind on EVERYTHING and would like to try and catch up!)
Thanks!
Any addl. info. you have on this is appreciated.....

And to you, BLONDIE, only a dumb blonde girl would assume that just because I am inquiring about Unemployment for my husband, that means that I dont have a job!! lmao

Legally, he cannot work and draw unemployment at the same time. Now, the LOOPHOLE : Should he accidentally draw a couple extra weeks of unemployment ( wink wink ) He will have to pay it back in small portions until it's paid back. It buys you time to get back on your feet. Trust me, It happened to me once. I overdrawed by one month and had to pay back 41.00 per month. I paid it off by opening another claim, letting them take the whole amount out of 2 checks.
Went back to work and it was like nothing ever happened.

Your question is very strange. You say that he was unemployed, but he got his job back, but then you ask whether he'll be working there again! Which is it???
Regardless, all "Edd" has to do is call or go to the Unemployment Office, and tell them what his employment status is (he's supposed to do that on a regular basis, anyway, at least until his unemployment benefits run out).

This sounds like a legal question. You'll prob have to ask the EDD on when benefits run out. Sometimes they may overlap. It is possible that they can ask for the money back. If the EED feels that he was not legally entitled to the funds, he could also be fined. Since we're only talking a month, I'd ask.

It would be nice to keep getting benefits, but you do not want to play around when it comes to government money. So, you need to inform the unemployment office that your husband is employed and ask what the procedure is. In fact, you should search around on the website before you talk to a live person. Sometimes people give answers based on what kind of day they are having.

They will find out and ask for the money back. My husband was laid of in April and got a job in June. Then in August, I was laid off and got a job in october, but it's commission only and Unemployement stopped, whether I was actually making money or not! I'm still not making money and it's starting to get to me. I wish I would have lied to them, but it's not worth it. I've seen judgments and liens from EDD when people do this and it's on their credit report. Negative stuff. You don't want that.

They might not find out right away though as soon as his SS goes into the payroll computer it should come up. If it doesn't and you continue to get benefits, when they do find out you will be required to pay back all money given from the time he went back to work to the time they found out about it and it could effect his ability to draw unemployment in the future.

You are required to report any job change with the EDD when a change occurs. If you continue to receive benefits after he begins working then you are in violation of that and they can and will come after you for the over payment. best to be honest.

Yes, but you can't catch up by stealing from the taxpayers! Yes, it is likely that either EDD or the IRS will figure out that there was an overlap in the dates payments were made, and your husband could be imprisoned on fraud charges. Don't try it.

You need to report it or face the consequences later on if they lay him off again! You are only entitled to compensation that he was unemployed, and believe me they are strict about this, they can even prosecute for fraud! suck it up! everyone is hurting financially these days in some shape or form, keep your husband out of prison and budget your money accordingly! Good Luck! P.s. No such thing as free MONEY!

It's double dipping and they will find out and make you pay it back. It can also affect his benefits in the future. If he is caught, and they always catch you even if it takes awhile to do it....they can deny him unemployment benefits in the future for the fraudulent use of the system. I just wouldn't do it. It's not worth it.
