How to get payment stub/proof from EDD for benefits deposited to Money Network card?

just print out ur UI payment history page... thats wat i did when i needed proof 4 my car loan. sometimes u gotta click around but its there. if the leasing ppl are being picky tell them EDD doesnt send actual check stubs like a job would

You need to request a payment verification letter directly from EDD, not just print the payment history. Go to UI Online, select 'Contact EDD' from the menu, then choose 'Payment' as the category and 'Payment Verification Letter' as the topic. Be specific about what dates you need verification for. They typically mail it within 10 business days. Alternatively, you can access your Money Network card statements online which show deposits from EDD. Many landlords accept these as they show the source of deposits. Log into your Money Network account and download PDF statements for the months needed.

Have you checked your email? EDD sends a notification whenever they deposit money to your account. My landlord accepted those emails as proof when I was on unemployment last year. Just search your inbox for messages from EDD with subject line 'EDD Alert - Payment Issued'.

I went through this exact situation when applying for an apartment in San Diego. The fastest way to get official verification is to actually speak with an EDD representative who can generate and send you the payment verification letter electronically in some cases. I spent days trying to get through on the phone without success until I used Claimyr (claimyr.com). They connected me to an EDD agent within about 20 minutes instead of spending hours redialing. The agent was able to email me a verification letter that same day. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km Once I got through to an actual person, I explained it was urgent for housing and they were surprisingly helpful.

EDD is AWFUL with their documentation!! I had the same problem trying to get proof for my landlord. The stupid payment history page looks like something I could make in Microsoft Word in 5 minutes. No letterhead, no official seal, nothing! It's ridiculous they don't provide proper documentation when they know people need this for housing, loans, etc. I ended up having to get a NOTARIZED letter from my case worker after THREE WEEKS of waiting! By then I almost lost my apartment. The system is designed to fail regular people I swear.

I want to add something important - when you do speak with an EDD representative (however you manage to reach them), specifically ask for a "Proof of Benefits Letter" rather than just payment verification. The Proof of Benefits letter includes: 1. EDD letterhead 2. Your claim information 3. Weekly benefit amount 4. Payment history with dates 5. Benefit year begin/end dates This is considered more official than the payment history screen printout. Make sure to explain it's for housing so they understand the urgency. Many representatives can email this document if you explain the situation.

When I needed proof for my apartment last year, I took a different approach. I downloaded my Money Network transaction history for 3 months, printed my UI Online payment history page, and then wrote a simple cover letter explaining the documents and added my claim number and contact info. My apartment manager accepted this package, especially when I explained that EDD doesn't provide traditional pay stubs. Sometimes packaging everything professionally with a cover letter makes a difference!

Did you ever resolve this? I'm in the same boat now and my complex is being super strict about their documentation requirements.

Just wanted to follow up on this thread - for anyone finding this in the future. Another option is to visit an America's Job Center of California (AJCC) location in person. They sometimes can help generate benefit verification letters on the spot. You can find your nearest location on the EDD website under 'Office Locator'. Bring your ID and all your claim information with you.
