Hi John! The registration requirement is part of the work search requirements that have been reinstated. It doesn't necessarily mean your benefits are coming soon - it's more about demonstrating that you're actively looking for work, which is a condition for continuing to receive unemployment benefits. The letter you mentioned about not receiving might be a separate issue that needs to be addressed directly with EDD. I'd recommend calling them using one of the methods Tom shared above to get clarity on your specific case and payment status.
