How long does EDD appeal hearing take? Filed 3 weeks ago - no response yet

my appeal took 8 weeks to get scheduled last year. they send a letter in the mail with ur hearing date, not email. but u can check ui online it should update when its scheduled. just fyi the hearings r over phone now

The appeals process is definitely slow right now. In my experience (went through this in January), it took about 6-7 weeks to receive the scheduling notice. The important thing is to keep certifying for benefits every two weeks during this time. If you win your appeal, you'll receive all back payments for weeks you certified. Make sure you've gathered all documentation related to the unsafe working conditions - emails, texts, photos, witness statements, anything that shows you had good cause to quit. The Administrative Law Judge will want specific evidence, not just your word against the employer's. Also prepare a concise timeline of events leading to your resignation. You should receive a packet by mail about a week before your hearing with instructions. If it reaches 5 weeks with no communication, you can try calling the Appeals Board directly at (800) 300-5616.

I went thru this last year and let me tell ya EDD is a NIGHTMARE. 12 weeks waiting for a hearing and then they rescheduled it TWICE!!!! TOTAL OF 16 WEEKS before I finally had my day in court. And guess what? I lost anyway because I didn't have "enough evidence" that my workplace was unsafe. Complete waste of time. The system is RIGGED against workers!!!

I know waiting is frustrating, but 3 weeks is actually still early in the appeals process. Mine took about 5 weeks to get scheduled, and the hearing was set for 3 weeks after that. So about 8 weeks total from filing to actual hearing. One thing that helped me was using Claimyr to connect with an EDD rep directly (claimyr.com). They got me through to a representative who was able to confirm my appeal was in the system and processing normally. Gave me peace of mind instead of wondering if my paperwork was lost. They have a video showing how it works here: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km The rep couldn't speed up my appeal, but at least confirmed everything was on track and explained what to expect next. Sometimes just knowing the system hasn't forgotten about you helps with the anxiety.

My neighbor just wen thru an appeal for something similar and she said the whole process took like 10 weeks start to finish??? But she got all her backpay when she won so thats good I guess. still a long time to wait tho! Also she said the judge was actually pretty nice, not like a regular court judge.

Appeals specialist here. The current timeline for appeals is approximately 6-8 weeks for scheduling, depending on your county and case complexity. Here's what you should be doing in the meantime: 1. Continue certifying for benefits every two weeks - this is CRUCIAL 2. Gather all evidence of unsafe working conditions (emails, texts, photos, witness statements) 3. Document all attempts you made to resolve the situation before quitting 4. Prepare a timeline of events with specific dates 5. If you have a union representative or legal aid available, consult them For voluntary quit cases related to workplace safety, judges typically look for evidence that you made reasonable attempts to resolve the issue before quitting. Did you speak with HR? File complaints? Document safety violations? The hearing will likely be conducted by phone. You'll receive a packet about 7-10 days before with instructions. Be concise, stick to facts, and don't interrupt the judge or employer representative. Focus on the good cause aspects of your resignation. If you win, you'll receive all back benefits for weeks you certified properly.

i was denied for UI last year but for a different reason (misconduct they said). my appeal took exactly 52 days from filing to getting the letter with hearing date. then hearing was 18 days after that. but i know someone else who only waited like 4 weeks so i think it depends on how busy they are and maybe what county ur in

Update: I finally got through to someone at EDD after calling literally 47 times (no exaggeration). They confirmed my appeal was received and in process but couldn't give me a timeframe. Said they're extremely backed up right now. The rep did verify that my mailed documents were attached to my case, which is somewhat reassuring. Still nervous about making rent though. Thanks everyone for the advice about continuing to certify - I've been doing that religiously every two weeks.

im confused... isnt there a differents between appeal and eligibilty interview?? i had to do an interview but not an appeal. or are they the same thing?

Has anyone tried contacting their state representative's office? My cousin did this when his appeal was taking forever and suddenly it got scheduled within a week. Worth a shot!
