Unemployment Benefit Question?

This question is for the ones getting it. I applied in CA online and quickly was approved due to my laid off work starting from 3/15-12/31. The total benefit amount given between those dates is $6,500 (approx), so as instructed, I logged in & claimed the benefit for each week since mid-march until mid-august right now and got around $3,000+ benefits so far although I still have a balance of that much left. Once the debit card from BofA arrived, I was expecting that so far my $3,000+ money (as shown in my EDD account) I claimed would be shown but once I activated the debit card & upon setting up an online account on BofA to monitor my future balances/statements & see that there's $13,500 balance!! What is that $13,500??? Why does EDD show they approved me for $6,500 yet I already have a balance of $13,500? Why then EDD isn't sowing a confirmed claim amount of $13,500 in my account between 3/15 I claimed and end of this year when it ends? Why is only the debit card has so much $13,500? I'm totally confused yet happy but need to understand what is going on? I haven't touched that $13,500 yet not knowing why I got twice as more than what EDD has for me in my EDD account?
