How to get EDD award letter for Covered California - can't find it in UI Online

i went thru this last month. u cant get it online. gotta call them and ask for it specifically. they mail it to u.

The document you're looking for is actually called a "Notice of Unemployment Insurance Award" (DE 429Z). It's not available for download in UI Online. Your sister will need to contact EDD to request it be mailed to her. Unfortunately, that usually takes 7-10 business days after the request is processed.

As someone who deals with Covered California applications regularly, they will usually accept a screenshot of the payment history from UI Online as temporary proof. Have your sister log in, go to "Payment History" and take screenshots showing the benefit amounts. Include her name/address from the account page. Submit those with a note explaining the official award letter is coming. They give you 30 days to provide final documentation after initial submission.

Something nobody mentioned yet - your sister should check her email and mail. When she first applied and was approved for unemployment, EDD should have sent her the Notice of Unemployment Insurance Award letter. My husband just went through this. It was both emailed AND mailed when his claim was first approved. Worth checking before going through the hassle of requesting a new one!

I HAD THIS EXACT PROBLEM!!! Spent 3 WEEKS trying to get through to EDD for my Covered CA application!!! The online system is USELESS for this. EDD is IMPOSSIBLE to reach by phone - kept getting the "we're experiencing high call volume" message and then DISCONNECT!! Finally used Claimyr.com to get through - totally worth it. They connect you to an EDD rep who can send the award letter. They have a demo video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km After I got through, the rep sent the award letter that same day via email! Saved my Covered CA application!

This is a common issue with Covered California documentation requirements. While everyone's right that the official way is to request the Notice of UI Award (DE 429Z) from EDD, there's another option that helped me. If your sister has already received benefits, she can log into UI Online, go to History > Transactions and print that page. It shows all payment details including claim amounts. My Covered CA caseworker accepted this as proof while waiting for the official letter. But make sure she follows up with the caseworker directly to confirm this will work for her specific situation.

bak in 2022 i need same thing 4 my housing. i never got the letter in mail even after callin 3 times!!!! ended up havin my case worker call EDD WITH ME on the line in a 3-way call. that worked. try that 2 if nothin else works. good luck!!!!!

UPDATE: We got it resolved! First, my sister tried the transaction history approach, but her Covered CA rep said they really needed the official award letter. We tried calling EDD multiple times with no luck, then used Claimyr as someone suggested here. Got through to a rep in about 15 minutes who was super helpful. The rep emailed her the award letter as a PDF the same day. Thanks everyone for your help! For anyone with this same issue in the future, the transaction history is good temporary proof, but they ultimately needed the official Notice of UI Award letter.
