You sent them a letter yesterday explaining you now have a job. When did you get the letter about a court date? All you can do now is show up on the court date and explain your situation. Many time with EDD, letters are sent out late, while your situation is changing. My brother went through this will EDD. He got one letter denying his claim and another one accepting his claim. I asked him about the dates on the letters. The one denying him was sent before the letter of him being accepted. I told him to ignore the first one. All that matters is the latest letter. There hasn't been enough time between sending in your letter and the one they sent you. Since you never started school, do NOT mention anything about school. It doesn't matter, but just mentioning it could gum the works. Bring any proof you have of the other stores not hiring you.
