How to find my lost EDD Customer Account Number for UI claim

Check your old mail! EDD sends the Customer Account Number in the initial approval paperwork - it's on the Notice of UI Award letter (DE 429Z). The number is 10 digits long. If you really lost it, you can call the automated self-service line at 1-866-333-4606, but I'd also check any emails you got from EDD when you first applied.

the account # is also on the continued claim form if u kept any of those. i think you can also just use ur social to register a new account online????

If you've lost your EDD Customer Account Number, you have a few options: 1. Check any paperwork you have from EDD (award letters, continued claim forms, etc) 2. Look for any mailed debit card information if you chose that payment method 3. If you have a previous UI Online account, it may be visible there 4. Call the EDD Contact Center at 1-800-300-5616 (but be prepared for a long wait) Unfortunately, for security reasons, the EDD doesn't include the full account number in emails, and the automated system won't provide it. You'll need to speak with an actual representative to retrieve it if you can't find it in your documents.

I had the exact same problem last month! After trying for days to get through on the phone, I found this service called Claimyr that got me connected to an EDD rep in about 20 minutes. They basically keep dialing for you until they get through, then call you when they have an agent on the line. Saved me hours of frustration. Their website is claimyr.com and they have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km The rep was able to verify my identity and provide my account number over the phone. Just make sure you have your SSN and other identifying info ready when they connect you.

WHY does EDD make EVERYTHING so complicated?!! I went through this nightmare last year and wasted TWO WEEKS trying to get my account number. Their whole system is BROKEN. Even when you do get through to someone half the time they can't help or give you wrong information. I ended up having to go to the actual office to get mine after multiple reps told me different things. RIDICULOUS!!!

UPDATE: I tried the Claimyr service that @profile2 recommended and it actually worked! Got connected to a rep in about 25 minutes. She asked for my SSN, name, address, and DOB to verify my identity, then gave me my Customer Account Number. I was able to log in and certify right away. Such a relief! Thanks everyone for your help!

wait u can also check the paper mail they send u for certification if u didnt do online only. the account # is at the top of those forms.
