Due to a fraudulent claim investigation, the EDD has temporarily suspended payment for over 1.4 million unemployment claims and suspended 2 million accounts, leaving those who are actually <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/2021\/01\/california-edd-freezes-payments-for-1-4m-unemployment-claims\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">unemployed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> struggling to get by. In the midst of a pandemic that has left millions unemployed, this is not an ideal situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last Wednesday, the EDD started to send individuals a link to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.id.me\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ID.me<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0by email or through their UI online accounts allowing them to provide documentation of identity, and speed up the process. It is recommended to keep an eye out for this message for the next few days and to not ignore a message from the EDD that includes: \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If no official response is received, claims will be canceled.&#8221;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to California Assemblywoman <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LorenaSGonzalez\/status\/1347709336261283841\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lorena Gonzalez<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the timeline she received from the EDD declares that it may take until the 14th of January for them to receive the verification information from the suspended accounts, but will likely take more than a month to actually have the benefits cleared, leaving millions of unemployed Californians without aid until then. No information about why authorized claims got flagged and suspended has been given by the EDD.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For information on how to verify suspended accounts, click <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edd.ca.gov\/unemployment\/identity-verification.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During this pandemic, the importance of local government efficiency has been put on display in many incidents over the past months. The main takeaway from these events is that an individual should be in control of their own life, and the government is not meant to be fully relied on during times of crisis. As shown by the EDD and the state government, failures in government response are inevitable and millions of already struggling citizens in San Diego and all over the state now have to pay the consequences for problems caused by the state legislature and Gov.
