How to get EDD letter confirming end of unemployment benefits?

Hey everyone, I just stopped receiving unemployment benefits and I need to get a letter stating that I'm no longer collecting. Does anyone know how to get this? Do they automatically send it or do I need to request it from somewhere?

Yeah, you can definitely get that letter! You'll need to contact the EDD (Employment Development Department) and request it specifically. They don't usually send it automatically, at least in my experience.

Do you know if theres a specific form or smth we need to fill out for this? Or just call and ask?

I think you can just call and ask, but tbh their website might have a form too. Couldn't hurt to check both!

I actually found a way to get someone on the phone fast. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

How long did it take for them to call you back?

It took about 45 minutes, but I didn't have to sit there listening to hold music the whole time. Just got a call when an agent was ready.

Here's what you need to do step by step: 1. Log into your EDD account online 2. Go to 'Contact EDD' in your dashboard 3. Select 'Ask EDD' 4. Choose 'Unemployment Insurance Benefits' as the category 5. Select 'Claim Information' as the sub-category 6. Choose 'Request Proof of Benefits' as the topic 7. Fill out the form with your details and specify you need a letter stating you're no longer receiving benefits If you can't do it online, you'll need to call. Be prepared to wait on hold for a while. Make sure you have your claim ID and other personal info ready when you call. Hope this helps!

I went thru this last month. Took forever to get the letter 🙄 Make sure you follow up if you dont get it within 2 weeks

anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to be as frustrating as possible? 🤔

Preach! 🙌 I swear they make it complicated on purpose

Nah, it's just underfunded and understaffed. Can't expect miracles from a system running on fumes

Pro tip: if you need this letter for a specific reason (like proving income for a rental application), sometimes the requesting party will accept other forms of proof. Might be worth asking if they'll take bank statements showing the deposits stopping or smth similar

That's a great idea, I'll def ask about that. Thanks!
