EDD appeal deadline passed - will they accept my second submission?

this happend to me in february!!! i sent mine and they said they didnt get it either. i talked to a supervisor who told me to send it again with a note explaining what happened and they ended up accepting it anyway even tho it was like 10 days late. print out a new copy ASAP and write a letter explainiing you sent it on time but they lost it. also take pictures of everything before u mail it this time!

This is a common issue unfortunately. Here's what you need to do: 1. Immediately send a new appeal AND fax a copy if possible (keep the fax confirmation) 2. Include a cover letter explaining you originally mailed it on [date] before the deadline 3. If you have ANY proof of the original mailing (even a bank statement showing purchase of postage), include a copy 4. Call the Appeals Office directly at 800-300-5616 - don't just talk to regular EDD representatives 5. Request that they note in your file that you're submitting a duplicate appeal due to mail processing issues The Appeals Board generally allows appeals filed within 30 days after the deadline if you can show "good cause" for the delay. Lost mail is considered good cause in many cases. Good luck!

EDD is ALWAYS "losing" paperwork these days. I've had THREE different forms "disappear" in their system this year. They're just incompetent and hoping people give up so they don't have to pay. Send it again and fight for what you deserve!!!

Send your appeal to the address listed on your disqualification notice, typically the Appeals Office. The local office address is usually for submitting other documents. Most importantly - you absolutely need to reach an EDD representative who can add notes to your claim about this situation. The regular phone lines are nearly impossible to get through on, but I used a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) last month when I was in a similar situation with my identity verification. They got me connected to an EDD rep in about 20 minutes instead of spending days calling. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km Once you get through, explain the situation and ask them to make a note in your file that you submitted your appeal before the deadline. This documentation will help your case when the Appeals Board reviews your late submission.

so my cousin had the same issue and she just went IN PERSON to drop off her appeal at the local office and got a receipt and everything worked out fine. might be worth trying if u have an office nearby

To directly address your question: Yes, you can still be eligible for your appeal even if it's submitted after the deadline, but you must establish "good cause" for the late filing. Section 1256 of the California Unemployment Insurance Code allows the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) discretion to accept late appeals when there are compelling reasons. Having submitted the original appeal on time but EDD not receiving it is generally considered good cause. When you submit your new appeal: 1. Use form DE 1000M (Appeal Form) 2. In Section B where it asks for reason for appeal, first explain that you originally submitted before the deadline 3. Attach a separate detailed explanation with dates and any supporting evidence 4. Request a waiver of the late filing penalty based on good cause provision The most successful approach would be combining several methods others have suggested - submitting in person if possible, faxing a copy, and getting through to a representative who can note your file.

am i the only one who thinks its weird that so many peoples mail gets "lost" by edd? like what if they just say that to discourage people from appealing? my roomate had the same thing happen with her disability paperwork too not even unemployment

update us after u get it sorted out! i want to know if it worked out for u
