I received form DE 731 in order to receive I never received. It was supposed to come with a blue envelope that I was supposed to back to them but it was not in the letter they sent me. Does anyone know the or P.O. Box where I this form back to?

To all those having trouble reaching a human at California Unemployment. I just ran across this video that gave me a shortcut to reach a human. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

I had the same issue with form DE 731! The mailing should be: Employment Development Department, P.O. Box 826880, Sacramento, CA 94280-0001. You can also try calling EDD at 1-800-300-5616 to confirm the correct or ask them to send you a replacement envelope. Make sure to include your Social Security Number on the form before mailing it back. Hope this helps!

•Thank you so much @Aisha Mohammed! I've been struggling with the same DE 731 form issue for weeks. Really appreciate you sharing the P.O. Box - that's exactly what I needed since my envelope was missing too. I'll make sure to include my SSN as you mentioned. Has anyone else had success mailing to this address? Just want to double check before I send it out.

I had a similar issue with form DE 731 a few months ago. When the blue return envelope was missing from my packet, I called the EDD customer service line and they confirmed the mailing that @Aisha Mohammed shared is correct. Just make sure to send it certified or with tracking so you have proof it was delivered - I learned that the hard way when my first attempt got lost in the mail. Also, if you're still having trouble getting through to EDD by phone, try calling right when they open at 8am - that's when I had the most success reaching someone. Good luck!

•@Dmitry Popov that s'really helpful advice about sending it certified mail! I didn t'think about getting proof of delivery but that makes total sense, especially with how unreliable can be these days. I ll'definitely try calling at 8am too - I ve'been trying to reach them for days with no luck. Did you have to wait long on hold even when calling right at opening time? And @Aisha Mohammed thanks again for the address, I m going'to mine out today with tracking like Dmitry suggested.

I went through this exact same situation last month! When I called EDD about the missing blue envelope, the representative told me I could also fax the DE 731 form to 1-916-464-3343 as an alternative to mailing it. This might be faster than regular if you're in a hurry to get your benefits processed. Just make sure to keep the fax confirmation receipt as proof you sent it. The mailing that @Aisha Mohammed provided is definitely correct though - I used that when I mailed mine and it went through without any issues. If you do it, I'd highly recommend following @Dmitry Popov's advice about using certified or tracking.

•@Kiara Fisherman thank you for mentioning the fax option! I had no idea that was even possible - that could definitely be faster than waiting for delivery. Do you happen to remember if there were any specific instructions about what to write on the fax cover sheet, or did you just send the form by itself? I m'a bit nervous about making sure all my information gets processed correctly. Also appreciate everyone sharing their experiences here - it s'so frustrating when EDD doesn t'include all the necessary materials but at least we can help each other figure it out!
