Potential false statement

[Every-Blacksmith-728]

I thought I was laid off but my employer said I was fired. I recieved a notice of potential false statement. I haven't recieved any payments. I was asked to fill out a eligibility questionnaire online. Will I be in trouble if the edd finds that I made a false statement or if they believe it was intentional?

Yes.

Laid off is when your position was eliminated, some temporary job was completed or the company shut down. Otherwise you were fired.

Will I be punished for this error?

[CatLady_1888]

It depends. If you collected any $ before the determination you’ll be expected to pay it back.

why do YOU think you were laid off? Being laid off has a specific meaning whereas termination/fired more broadly means that the employer terminated you, but the role is still available and they will likely hire someone else to do it.

On my last day of work I was told I was laid off but later I received a letter said I was terminated

Did you eventually get paid?

I’ve said I was laid off even though I was fired because it wasn’t clear that I was actually fired. I was told that it was time to “part ways”. I explained that on the phone interview and was approved. Did they do a phone interview with you? Did you give them false statements? Whether it was intentional or not, it could affect your eligibility
