EDD Appeal Center Address Needed - Disqualified for Wrongful Termination Claim

The Appeals Office address depends on which EDD office handled your claim. Check the top of your disqualification notice - there should be an Appeal Board or Office address listed there, usually with a specific PO Box number. If you're in LA County, it's likely the LA/Orange County Appeals Office, but don't just assume! Each determination letter should have the specific appeals info for your case.

omg the same thing happened to me!!! got fired 4 a bs reason and edd said NO to my benefits. i had to appeal too. just send it to whatever PO box is on ur letter, thats what i did. took like 6 weeks to get a hearing date. make sure u include ur ssn and claim number on EVERYTHING u send them

I went through this nightmare last year! The Sacramento PO Box (826880) is correct - ALL appeals go there first for processing, then they assign it to your local office. But here's what nobody tells you: SEND IT CERTIFIED MAIL WITH TRACKING!!! I mailed my appeal regular mail and EDD claimed they never got it. Had to start the whole process over and almost missed my deadline completely. Don't trust regular mail for something this important.

Yes, I won! But it took almost 3 months total from disqualification to getting benefits. The most important thing is to gather EVIDENCE. I submitted text messages from my supervisor proving they knew about my situation. The judge really focused on whether my employer had reasonable policies and if I knowingly violated them. Also, request all your employment records NOW from your HR department before they 'lose' them.

just wondering did u try calling EDD? sometimes they can tell u this stuff over the phone and save u the headache

If you're having trouble reaching EDD by phone (and who isn't these days), I'd recommend trying Claimyr. It's a service that helps connect you with an actual EDD agent instead of dealing with the constant busy signals. I was in the same situation with my appeal last month and was going crazy trying to get clarification. Used Claimyr and got through to a real person in about 20 minutes who confirmed exactly where I needed to send my appeal paperwork. You can see how it works at claimyr.com or check out their demo video: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km For your appeal, make sure you specifically address why your termination wasn't misconduct under UI law. That's different from wrongful termination in employment law - they're looking for whether your actions were deliberately against your employer's interests.

To address your actual appeal question - you need to focus on the legal definition of misconduct for UI purposes. Under UI law, misconduct requires a deliberate disregard of your employer's interests. If you made a good faith error or used poor judgment but weren't malicious, that's NOT misconduct! Make this very clear in your appeal letter. Explain the emergency situation and why your action was reasonable under the circumstances. The fact that you were trying to help in an emergency actually works in your favor here.

Everyone here is giving you bad advice!!!!! Appeals don't go to Sacramento anymore since 2023!!!! They changed it to regional offices!!! You need to send it to the Southern California CUIAB office at PO Box 10133, Van Nuys CA 91410-0133!!! My cousin works for EDD and told me this! The address on your letter might be wrong if it's an old form they sent out!

i got fired 4 being late (only 3 times!!) and was denied benefits too, the system is rigged against workers!! my appeal hearing was a joke, the judge basically took my ex-bosses side on everything. prepare to be treated like a criminal during your hearing

Since you're dealing with a misconduct disqualification, make sure your appeal letter specifically addresses these key points: 1. The emergency nature of the situation 2. Any policies or precedents that support your decision 3. Your history of following proper procedures in non-emergency situations 4. Any communication with supervisors about the incident 5. How your actions were in the company's best interest despite not following protocol The legal standard for misconduct requires that your actions showed a "substantial disregard of your employer's interests" - emergency situations often create exceptions to normal rules. You should also request a copy of your claim file using an EDD Request for Records form (DE 8330). This will let you see exactly what your employer told EDD.

One more tip that really helped me: after you mail your appeal, call the CUIAB office directly (not regular EDD) to confirm they received it. Their number is 916-263-6777. They're usually much easier to reach than regular EDD. Ask for your appeal case number and write it down somewhere safe. You'll need it for all future communications. And when you eventually get your hearing notice, call and request all documents your employer has submitted for the hearing - you have a legal right to see them before the hearing date.
