Here’s your unemployment update for Sunday, February 7th, 2021

As we know California has been hard hit with so much fraud, well now California Gov. Gavin Newsom faces the growing threat of recall.

In a joint letter, all 11 California Republicans in the House demanded Newsom release more details about the fraud, such as how the state will try to recover the money, how it will help victims of identity theft, and when the backlog of pending legitimate claims will be paid.

The lawmakers wrote, “Without any accountability mechanisms in place or plan to recover fraudulent unemployment assistance payments, we fear that there will be a continued decline in taxpayers’ faith in California to administer other critical relief programs.”

Newsom is the target of a Republican-backed petition that is seeking a special election in which voters would be asked to remove him from office.

A representative for the governor responded to the letter, saying the administration was acting to address problems at the EDD, including hiring thousands of workers.
