A: I just got off the phone with the EDD. B: What did they say? Are you going to get benefits? A: Yes, but not as much as I thought. B: What do you mean? A: I thought I would receive a certain amount per month, but I got less. B: Why is that? A: I'm not really sure. It has something to do with how much I earned. B: They pay benefits based on your income? A: Yes. I think the more you earn, the more you receive. B: That's interesting. I didn't know that. A: I think I may go to the EDD office to ask about it. B: You should go. What have you got to lose?
