EDD appeal hearing in 4 days - Where to physically drop off documents at Inland Office?

i went there last yr, its in a big office park off haven ave. near the 10 freeway. hard 2 find cuz the building doesnt say EDD on it anywhere. cant remember exact address but its definitely a real place not just a po box

You don't actually need to go there in person. I was in your same situation last month with only 5 days before my hearing. Just call that number and ask for their fax number - then fax all your documents. The fax is the OFFICIAL way they accept documents and it's documented with a timestamp. Make sure to include your case number on EVERY page you fax. BTW, when you call that number, be prepared to wait 45+ minutes. They're seriously understaffed and it's almost impossible to get through.

I think most UPS stores have fax services if you need to use that option instead. They charge like $1-2 per page though. Or maybe try an online fax service?

Just wanted to add - you DON'T need to physically take your documents there! I was completely paranoid about my appeal too because I was fighting an $8,900 overpayment claim. I emailed my documents to them and it worked fine. The email address should be on your appeal paperwork somewhere. Just make sure to put your case number in the subject line. If you really want to go in person though, I'm pretty sure the address is 10525 Civic Center Dr, Rancho Cucamonga. At least that's what I found when I was looking last year.

The building doesn't have EDD signage because it's the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board (CUIAB), which is technically separate from EDD. They handle all unemployment appeals. The address is indeed 10525 Civic Center Drive in Rancho Cucamonga. However, I strongly recommend calling before going there in person, as not all offices are accepting in-person document drop-offs since the pandemic. Some locations still require appointments. Also, for future reference, you can typically email documents to appeals.office@cuiab.ca.gov (be sure to include your case number), or use the online document upload system through your UI Online account under the "Appeal" section if you have access. For your income reporting case, make sure you bring any pay stubs, work schedules, or documentation showing exactly when you worked and what you reported to EDD during your certifications.

I was in this exact situation last December! The CUIAB office exists but they're really strict about appointments now. I drove all the way there without calling first and the security guard wouldn't even let me in the building to drop off paperwork! Have you tried using Claimyr to reach someone? I was getting the same disconnection messages when calling directly, then I found this service called Claimyr that got me through to an actual person at EDD in like 15 minutes. They have a demo video at https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km that shows how it works. It basically keeps calling for you until it gets through, then connects you. I used it to confirm how to submit my appeal docs and to get the exact address. Worth it to not stress about missing your deadline!

I emailed mine to the appeals.office@cuiab.ca.gov address that someone else mentioned, and then I also faxed copies through an online fax service called FaxZero (they let you send like 5 pages free). I wanted proof that I sent it both ways because I was paranoid too! The email worked fine though - they actually responded the next day confirming receipt.

Just to clarify some misinformation here: The Inland Office of Appeals in Rancho Cucamonga is located at 10525 Civic Center Drive. It's a CUIAB office (California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board), not an EDD office, which is why it doesn't show up if you're searching for "EDD office" on Google Maps. For your income reporting disqualification case, here are your submission options in order of reliability: 1. Email to appeals.office@cuiab.ca.gov with your case number in subject line 2. Fax to the number on your notice (909-481-5779) 3. In-person delivery (call first to confirm they're accepting drop-offs) 4. Express mail to the PO Box with tracking Most importantly, keep proof of submission however you send it. For email, save the sent email. For fax, keep the confirmation page. For in-person, request a receipt. Your hearing should be conducted by phone unless you specifically requested in-person, so make sure your phone number is correct on all documentation.

good luck! my appeal was approved cuz the edd rep didn't even show up lol. but prepare ur case anyway just in case

Just wanted to follow up and see if you were able to submit your documents? My hearing was actually pretty straightforward - the judge (they call them Administrative Law Judges) was much nicer than I expected. Hope everything worked out for you!

Hey! I just went through a similar appeal process last month and totally understand the panic. Here's what worked for me: I used the email option (appeals.office@cuiab.ca.gov) and got a confirmation reply within 24 hours. Make sure to put your case number in the subject line and attach everything as PDFs if possible. One thing I learned - they actually prefer electronic submissions now because it's faster for them to process. I was stressing about hand delivery too, but the email worked perfectly and I had proof of delivery. For your income reporting case, gather EVERYTHING - pay stubs, bank deposits, screenshots of what you certified, work schedules. I brought way more documentation than I thought I needed and it helped show the complete picture. The judge appreciated having all the details. Also, don't let the 4-day timeline freak you out too much - as long as you submit by the deadline, you're good. They're used to people submitting documents right up until the hearing date. You've got this!

I'm in a similar situation right now with an appeal hearing coming up! Thank you all for sharing your experiences - this thread has been incredibly helpful. I was also panicking about the tight deadline, but seeing that multiple people have successfully submitted documents via email is reassuring. Quick question for those who've been through this process: Did you organize your documents in any particular way when submitting? Like, did you create a cover letter explaining what each document was, or just attach everything with your case number? Also, @Kai Santiago - really hoping your hearing went well! Would love to hear how it turned out if you're comfortable sharing. These income reporting cases seem to be pretty common and it would help others in similar situations.

Just wanted to add my recent experience since I went through almost the exact same thing in January! I had an income reporting appeal hearing with only 3 days to submit documents and was freaking out just like you. I ended up using both the email method (appeals.office@cuiab.ca.gov) AND faxing through FaxZero as backup. The email worked perfectly - I got an auto-reply confirmation immediately and then a human response the next day confirming they received everything. For the Rancho Cucamonga office, I actually did drive there just to see it for myself (anxiety got the better of me lol). It's definitely at 10525 Civic Center Drive in a big government complex. The building says "California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board" on it, not EDD. But honestly, emailing was so much easier and less stressful. One tip that really helped me: I organized everything chronologically and created a simple timeline document showing exactly what I reported to EDD each week versus what I actually earned. It made my case super clear to the judge. My hearing lasted maybe 20 minutes and I won! Don't stress too much - the judges deal with income reporting cases constantly and they understand the system can be confusing. Just be honest and have your documentation ready. You've got this!
