    Default Disqualified for Self-Employment

    My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: CA

    Hi. I received a notice of determination from EDD stating that I got disqualified for UI benefit due to
    1. self-employed during the normal working hours for my occupation.
    I reported freelance earning of $999.99, for website content writing in LA, total 30 hours a week in the same week when I received pay check of $3,000. I worked on the same project even in the previous week but didn’t report until I got paid because I figured there was no earning and I was going to report the earning later anyway.

    2. willfully makes a false statement or withhold information.
    EDD thought I got employed based on the freelance earning above and I mistakenly missed the phone interview to explain that it was just a random freelance job.

    My point is that I am still eligible to work or look for work since I was never employed by any employer nor self-employed with regular income. Also I never intentionally missed the phone interview to hide any information.

    Question 1: some people say I should not even bother filing an appeal because it can get worse because I didn’t report the work until I got paid. Is that true?
    Question 2: so if Q1 is true, and I don’t file an appeal. Will EDD drop it as I accept the disqualification or come back at me regardless in the future?
    Question 3: say yes to Q1 and I file an appeal providing all the info including the pay rate and duration. Will EDD charge me for over payment due to the fact that I only reported portion of total pay? I feel like I should be entitled for the benefit but not sure if it's even worth filing an appeal if things will get worse.

    Thanks for you advice.

    How do the people imagine that things could be worse? Is there additional money that the EDD doesn't know about?

    If you choose not to appeal, the present ruling will stand.
