Sacramento, California – Senator Anthony J. Portantino (D–La Cañada Flintridge) recently wrote to Julie Su, Secretary of the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency and the Governor to convey his strong concerns regarding the department’s handling of claims for Unemployment and Pandemic Unemployment Assistance. Specifically, the Senator highlighted nine common complaints from friends and neighbors across the 25th Senate District. The nine issues Senator Portantino wants EDD to correct and to improve are:
“Too many Californians are mired in bureaucratic red tape and not getting the benefits they deserve. We must do everything we can to bring financial relief to our neighbors who have lost their jobs because of the pandemic. I asked my team to compile the most prevalent issues facing our constituents and formally requested that EDD address them,” Commented Senator Portantino.
