As the supplemental federal unemployment benefit of $600 a week having expiring Saturday, a hearing at the state Capitol reflected a new level of despair by those struggling to get benefits from the state Employment Development Department.

Some California lawmakers lashed out Thursday. “Because of EDD’s failures, our constituents are depleting their life savings, going into extreme debt and having trouble paying rent and putting food on the table,” said Assemblyman David Chiu (D-San Francisco). Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris (D-Laguna Beach) told of constituents who filed for unemployment benefits months ago but have not heard back from the EDD or received any benefits.
