Cali unemployment fraud

SAN FRANCISCO — A federal court in California allows consumers’ long-running, multi-district complaint to continue against Bank of America over rampant theft and fraud of its customers’ unemployment benefits following Covid-19. Theft was so bad, California’s Employment Development Department cancelled a contract with the bank, which had been distributing funds. A series of Electronic Funds Transfer Act claims survive, alleging consumers’ accounts were frozen without explanation while theft was occurring.
