Molly
IATSE Local 80 - Art Director
Erica understands not having money is stressful, but not knowing how to get help is even more frustrating. Not only is the EDD website confusing and convoluted, but the Facebook group buries good information deep within the comments. She hopes that finding information will be easier on this website!

Andrew Parrotte is a 1st Assistant Camera in Los Angeles. Working freelance means you are on and off unemployment throughout the year when between gigs. This made Andrew quite familiar with the UI process. Andrew joined the group once Erica created it and became an admin soon after.

Lynn
Sales Support Manager
When she's not helping others with their EDD claims she enjoys the beach and water with family and three dogs.
Lynn lives in Northern California right in the center of the fires. She is well versed in recouping what wages she can during fire seasons. With Covid-19 also affecting her children, she has several unique situations that she wants to help others avoid. I stumbled upon the Unofficial CA site and found so much information that helped me solve both the kids issues!
