No I am not, Why would I have to pay back the company? The state never should of approved the benefits to me in the first place. What do I do about the hearing if I am not in the same state and have no way of getting there for it?

You wouldn't have to pay back the company, you'd have to pay back the state.
If you don't go to the hearing, you will lose automatically, and you will be required to pay back the benefits to the state. If you're OK with that, then fine, don't attend the hearing. But if paying back the state seems wrong to you, then the way to fix that is to attend the hearing.
Is there any way to push the hearing to another date? I only just started this new job and can't request a day of that with less than a weeks notice, plus I don't have the money to get to California in the first place to attend the hearing.
I'm sorry, nobody here works for the EDD, nor can we ask for a re-schedule on your behalf. You have to ask the EDD yourself. If you can't get through, you have a problem, another one we can't help you with.
Just out of curiosity, why is it such a problem for you to pay back the money if as you say they "never should of approved the benefits to [you] in the first place"?
Because I spent the money on bills like rent so I don't have to sleep in my car, I am saying the state should not of approved me unemployment benefits in the first place if they are going to ask for the money back. So now its leaving me with little choice to some how get money to drive to California and then choice to pay the money back or rent which would obviously have to be paying the money back so I don't get in trouble with the state. It is just a pain that they approved it and now this happens, I knew I should of never applied and I never wanted too, but someone talked me into it after seeing how I'd lost 30 pounds in 2 months from not eating and barely getting by. Now I am definitely wishing I hadn't but I just want to fix it and have it be over and done with so it doesn't stress me out anymore.
