My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: CA

While living in CA I was unemployed twice between 2008 and 2011. During my claim that lasted from 12/2009 to 5/2010, I joined an Americorp Program that paid a weekly stipend of $125.00. I contacted the EDD about this but never got a clear answer. The money wasn't considered "income" by the the state and to make a long story short I neglected to report this on my claim form.

I started a new claim in October 2011. Shortly after I received a Notice of Potential Overpayment letter for the subsequent time I had received a claim. I proceeded with my appeal letter, I got statements from Amiercorp supporting my case, I admitted to omitting the payments but I emphasized it was out of misunderstanding and not an act of deceit (which is the truth btw).

I spoke with an EDD agent on the phone who helped me process my appeal and also let me fax my paperwork directly to them. He took some notes on my statement too, which seemed to be encouraging. Like he was using internal EDD bureaucrat speak to help me make my case. But...

I have never heard from them since. It's been almost 6 months...

Obviously this makes me uneasy, always wondering when of if they are going to cancel my UI. I prepared a savings of the $1900.00 that I may have to repay but I'm more worried about being cut off and prosecution.

I haven't had any interruptions in my current claim yet. Since it took them over a year to send me the overpayment letter, will I wait just as long to hear from them again on what they decide? I've since moved to a new state, is that a factor? Has anyone else gone through this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
