In bankruptcy generally you can discharge the edd unemployment overpayment but many courts find that the unemployment insurance overpayment can be recouped after bankruptcy. This means that if later on you seek unemployment benefits they can withhold from your benefits the overpayment until it is fully paid back. In a sense this means that although technically the debt has been discharged in bankruptcy, you may still end up paying the debt back through recoupment. http://www.socaladvocates.com
