(that's not the new part)
The way this "debt" was incurred, was not the typical EDD scenario where the employer pays a percentage each month based on payroll.
This company utilized an option that allowed it to reimburse the EDD at such a time as the EDD makes payout on an unemployment claim of an employee.
Thus, (one might argue), the EDD is loaning money to company.
Does anyone have experience with this? I need to figure out if it is dischargeable, but before I can do that, I need to determine whether it's a tax, a trust obligation, etc.

This is a new one for me.
One of the officers of a non-profit corporation contacted me because
the EDD is coming after her as a responsible party for money the
corporation owes to the EDD.
(that's not the new part)
The way this "debt" was incurred, was not the typical EDD scenario
where the employer pays a percentage each month based on payroll.
This company utilized an option that allowed it to reimburse the EDD
at such a time as the EDD makes payout on an unemployment claim of
an employee.
Thus, (one might argue), the EDD is loaning money to company.
Does anyone have experience with this? I need to figure out if it
is dischargeable, but before I can do that, I need to determine
whether it's a tax, a trust obligation, etc.
