How to get EDD payment proof/check stub for my landlord?

ya u can get that from ur ui online account. go to payment history and theres a option to print payment info. my apt complex needed the same thing

You can absolutely get proof of your EDD payments. Log into your UI Online account and go to 'Payment History'. From there, you can view your payment details for each week. You should see a printer icon that allows you to print or save as PDF your payment information. This works as an official record of your unemployment income. Alternatively, you can request an official payment verification letter from EDD by calling them. The letter will show all payments made to you and can be used as proof of income for landlords, lenders, or government assistance programs.

I had same issue with my property management company!! The payment history PDF from UI Online wasn't enough for them - they wanted an "official letter" 🙄 I ended up having to call EDD to request a proper verification letter. Took me 3 DAYS of calling to finally get through to someone who could help me. So frustrating!!!

After struggling for days to reach EDD by phone about getting an official verification letter, I finally tried Claimyr (claimyr.com) and got through to an EDD rep in about 20 minutes. They have this service that bypasses the hold times and actually connects you with an agent. Watched their demo video (https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km) and decided to try it after wasting hours on hold. The EDD rep I spoke with was able to send me an official payment verification letter right away. Saved me so much stress with my apartment manager who wouldn't accept the UI Online printouts.

I work in property management, and I can tell you that most landlords will accept the Payment History printout from UI Online as proof of income. Make sure you include all your recent payments (at least 4 weeks) to show consistency. The printout should show your name, payment amounts, and dates - all the essential information a landlord needs. If your landlord specifically requires an official letter, you'll need to contact EDD directly to request a verification of benefits letter. This is a more formal document that verifies your weekly benefit amount and claim period. But honestly, the UI Online printout should be sufficient for most rental situations unless they have some unusual requirements.

wait can somone clarify the difference between the payment history printout and the verification letter? im confused about which one is which bc i need to show proof for my food stamps application

Update: I printed out 6 weeks of payment history from UI Online and brought it to my landlord. He looked it over and said it was fine! Thanks everyone for your help. For anyone else who needs this in the future - the print button is a tiny icon on the Payment History page that's easy to miss. Make sure to include multiple weeks of payments to show it's consistent income.

Awesome that you got it sorted out @Paolo! For future reference, you can also screenshot or save the payment history page as a PDF if the print button isn't working. Some landlords are more familiar with unemployment documentation now since so many people were on benefits during the pandemic. Glad your landlord was reasonable about it!

Just wanted to add my experience for anyone reading this later - I was in a similar situation and ended up needing to provide EDD payment proof for both my landlord and a loan application. The payment history printout from UI Online worked fine for my landlord, but the bank required the official verification letter. I used that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier to get through to EDD quickly, and they were able to email me a PDF of the verification letter the same day. Cost like $20 but saved me literally days of trying to call. Also pro tip - if you're applying for multiple things that need income verification, request several copies of any official letters while you have EDD on the phone, since getting through again can be such a pain. The representatives are usually pretty helpful once you actually reach them!

As someone who's helped family members navigate EDD documentation, I'd recommend starting with the payment history printout since it worked for @Paolo Longo and most reasonable landlords. However, I've noticed some property management companies (especially the larger corporate ones) can be pickier about documentation format. If you run into resistance, don't panic - you have good backup options like the Monetary Determination letter through UI Online or the verification letter via phone/Claimyr. One thing I'd add is to always keep a digital copy of whatever documentation you end up using, because you'll likely need proof of unemployment income for other things down the road (utilities assistance, healthcare subsidies, etc.). The key is having multiple formats ready so you're not scrambling when deadlines hit!
