Unfortunately, mis-calendaring the date wouldn't qualify as an "Administrative Error" since that term typically refers to mistakes made by the EDD or Appeals Board themselves, not scheduling errors by claimants.
However, you still have options! California EDD allows appeals to be reopened under "good cause" provisions. While a personal scheduling error isn't automatically considered good cause, you can still request to have your appeal reopened by:
1. Acting quickly - you typically have 20 days from the decision date to request reopening
2. Filing a written request to reopen your appeal (form DE 6317)
3. Clearly explaining your situation and why you missed the hearing
4. Being honest about the scheduling error but emphasizing any factors that contributed to the confusion
I recommend:
- Contacting the Appeals Board immediately at 1-800-300-5616
- Following up with a written request explaining your situation
- Including any documentation that might support your case
While there's no guarantee they'll reopen based on a calendaring error alone, the sooner you address this, the better your chances. The Appeals Board does have some discretion in these matters, especially if you're prompt in your follow-up.
