California Court of Appeal
California Ins. Guarantee Ass'n v. Workers' Compensation Appeals Bd., B180525, B183529
An Employment Development Department (EDD) lien is an obligation to a state because the EDD is a department of the State of California. Thus, an EDD lien claim is not a "covered claim" that the California Insurance Guarantee Association is required to pay under the Insurance Code.
