1. How do I file an appeal?
|
An employer or claimant who disagrees with a Notice of
Determination (or Ruling), DE 1080CT, or Notice of Modification, DE 1080M
and wants to file an appeal must send a letter to EDD at the address shown
on the notice. The letter must contain:
Employers -
- The company's name, address, telephone number, and reserve account number
- The former employee's name, and social security account number
- The reason for the appeal
Appeals filed by an employer's agent must contain the above information in
addition to the agent's:
- Name
- Address, and telephone number
Claimants -
- Name
- Address, and telephone number
- Social security account number
- The reason for the appeal
We will review the decision. If the decision is correct (according to state law
and regulation), we send the appellant a notice that the appeal has been sent
to the Office of Appeals. The Office of Appeals:
- Schedules the hearing
- Sends information about the hearing
- Advises the employer and claimant where and when to appear for the hearing
The hearing notice contains important information about the appeals process.
An Administrative Law Judge hears the appeal and testimony is taken under oath.
After the hearing, the Administrative Law Judge mails a decision to all parties.
Contact the Office of Appeals at the telephone number listed on the hearing
notice if you have any questions.
You may also access the Employment Development Department
Appeal Form, DE 1000M on this Web site if you wish to file an appeal. The
appeal form is also included with each disqualification notice that we mail.
Mail your completed appeal form to the address on the disqualification notice.
Review the Appeals section on this Web site for more
information.

2. I live in another state, but worked in California and have a California
UI claim. I received a notice that I am not eligible for benefits. If I
file an appeal do I have to come to California to attend a hearing?
|
No, you do not have to come to California to attend your appeal hearing. Mail
your appeal to the EDD address at the top of the notice advising you that you
are not eligible for benefits. The Office of Appeals will:
- Mail you a copy of your claim records
- Mail you a notice with the date and time of your hearing
- Provide you with a telephone number to call on the hearing date (you will
be calling collect so there will be no charge to you)
Employers who are interested parties will attend either in-person at the
California Office of Appeals, or by conference call.
After the hearing, the Administrative Law Judge mails a decision to all
parties. Contact the Office of Appeals at the telephone number listed on
the hearing notice if you have any questions.

3. I received a Notice of Determination, DE 1080CT and I am not eligible for
benefits. What do I do now?
|
You have the right to file an appeal if you do not agree with all or part of
our decision. Review the Appeals section on this Web
site for more information.
|
|
4. Why am I not eligible for benefits? You took money out of my check while
I was working.
|
UI benefits are financed solely from taxes paid by employers. No deductions
are taken from an employee's wages for UI benefits. You have the right to
file an appeal if you believe you are entitled to benefits. Review the
Appeals section on this Web site for more information.
