It must have been considered a fraud over payment then if you are getting hit with false statement penalty weeks. How many weeks is it for?
Fraud: If the EDD finds that you intentionally gave false information or withheld information and, as a result, received benefits that you should not have received, the overpayment is considered fraud. Withholding or giving false information to obtain benefits is a serious offense that can result in penalties and criminal prosecution.
With a fraud overpayment, you can receive a penalty equal to 30 percent of the overpayment amount. Additionally, you can be disqualified for 5 to 23 weeks. You must repay fraud overpayments and penalties.
Non-Fraud: If you received benefits you were not eligible for and the overpayment was not your fault, the overpayment is considered non-fraud. You will receive a notice telling you if the overpayment must be repaid.
If you do not repay your overpayment quickly, the EDD can deduct the money from your future UI or State Disability Insurance benefits. The EDD can also:
Reduce or withhold your federal and state income tax refunds.
Reduce or withhold your state lottery winnings.
Reduce or withhold other money the State owes you.
File a claim against you in court.
Charge you court costs and interest.
Record a lien on your property.
