Facing a massive backlog of 600,000 cases, California’s Employment
Development Department says it will not accept new unemployment
claims until October 5 as it works to restructure its website to
process claims more efficiently. The temporary “pause” comes after

and inefficient fraud detection. We’ll discuss the report and how
EDD plans to tackle these issues.
