Can't find my EDD eligibility interview date anywhere - help!

omg same thing happened to me last month!! the interview date should be in your UI online inbox, not on the main dashboard. also check ur physical mail, they sometimes ONLY send it through regular mail which is so dumb bc who checks their mail everyday?? I ended up missing mine and had to request a new interview which added like 3 more weeks to my claim 😭

The interview notification is actually sent through regular mail. They should have sent you a DE 4800 form with the exact date and time of your interview, along with the reason for the interview and what documents you should have ready. It's important to keep your address updated with EDD for this reason. Also, make sure to answer your phone even if you don't recognize the number on the scheduled day. EDD calls often show as "Private Number" or various area codes. They typically only call twice before marking you as a no-show.

just make sure ur by ur phone!!! my interviewer called 30 min early and i almost missed it bc i was in the shower lol. they only try 2 times then ur claim gets denied and u have to appeal which is a huge headache

My interview was supposed to be about why I left my job too. They asked me like 5 questions total, super easy. Just be honest and you'll be fine. My interviewer was really nice actually. Not like when you call the regular EDD line and get those rude people who act like they hate their job lol.

I had to reach EDD about my interview that I missed (they sent notice to my old address 🙄) and it was IMPOSSIBLE to get through on the phone. After 3 days of constant calling, I finally used Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through to a rep in about 20 minutes. They have this system that keeps dialing for you until it connects. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km Worth it for me because I was able to get my interview rescheduled right away instead of waiting for weeks. Just an option if you need to talk to someone at EDD quickly!

btw when u do the interview make sure ur in a quiet place with good reception! My call dropped TWICE during my interview and the lady was super annoyed having to call back. Also have ur work separation info ready (last day, if u were fired/laid off/quit, managers name, etc

After your interview, you should see a decision in your UI Online account within 2-3 business days. If approved, payments typically process within 24-48 hours after the decision. If your claim is denied, you'll receive a Notice of Determination explaining why and how to appeal. About 60% of eligibility interviews result in immediate approval, especially for clear-cut layoff situations.
