EDD appeal mailing address needed - can't get through on phone

The appeal mailing address depends on which office sent your disqualification notice. Look at the top of your notice letter - there should be an office code or name (like 'Sacramento Adjudication Center' or similar). The return address on the letter is usually where you need to send your appeal. Make sure to use the Appeal Form DE 1000M - you can download it from the EDD website. Don't forget to include your claim ID number and a copy of the disqualification notice!

i had same problem last month. just use the PO box on the disqual letter. thats what i did. took like 3 weeks but they scheduled my hearing finally

EDD IS THE WORST!!! I sent my appeal to the address on my letter and they claimed they never got it. Had to send AGAIN with tracking. ALWAYS use certified mail with these people!!! They'll claim they never received it just to deny you benefits!!!

EDD Appeals Office addresses vary by region, but here's what you need to know: 1. Use the PO Box on your disqualification notice 2. Fill out form DE 1000M (not strictly required but highly recommended) 3. Include your claim ID, SSN (last 4 digits only is safest), and copy of disqualification notice 4. Send via certified mail with tracking 5. Keep copies of EVERYTHING If your appeal deadline is only 9 days away, you can also fax your appeal to the number on your notice. Faxing counts as submission and creates a timestamp. If you're still trying to reach a live person at EDD, I'd recommend trying Claimyr (claimyr.com). They have a service that helps you get through to an EDD representative much faster than trying on your own. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km. Many people in this forum have had success with it when dealing with time-sensitive issues like appeals.

My situation was different (fired vs quit dispute), but when I appealed last month, I found out you can actually submit appeals online through UI Online now! Go to your homepage, look for the Appeal option in the menu. You can upload documents there too. Much faster than mail.

Update: I just checked UI Online and there is an appeal option there! It lets me select the disqualification notice I want to appeal. Has anyone used the online appeal process? Is it better than mailing?

I used that claimyr service someone mentioned above when I had appeal questions last year... got through to EDD in like 25 mins after trying for days on my own. The guy I talked to was actually super helpful and walked me through everything. Just sharing since your deadline is coming up fast.

My sister had almost the exact same situation happen. She sent her appeal letter to the wrong address and almost missed the deadline. Whatever you do, don't just use the general EDD address in Sacramento! Make sure it's going to the specific appeals office that handles your region. The online option sounds like your best bet if it's available for your specific type of appeal.

Just wanted to follow up on my earlier advice - the online appeal option is definitely the way to go if it's available for your case type. It's faster and creates an immediate record. If you go that route, make sure to: 1. Write a clear, concise explanation of why you believe the decision is incorrect 2. Upload any evidence that shows you were available for work (job applications, work search records, etc.) 3. Take screenshots of the confirmation page 4. Continue certifying for benefits weekly while waiting for your appeal Best of luck with your appeal!
