Notice of Claim Filed, DE 1101CZ
1. Why did I receive this Notice of Unemployment Insurance Claim Filed, DE 1101CZ when the person is working for me part-time? California law allows a part-time employee to file a UI claim. An employer's costs for these benefits may be reduced if the part-time employee has:
  • Worked part-time continuously for the same employer for more than six months
  • Continues to work part-time
2. Why did I receive this Notice of Unemployment Insurance Claim Filed, DE 1101CZ when this person only worked for me for a week? California law requires EDD to notify the very last employer when an individual files a UI claim. It doesn't matter whether the individual worked one hour, two weeks, or ten years. The legal definition of last employer does not establish a required length of employment. The DE 1101CZ is not an indication that the individual is eligible, only that the claim was filed.
3. Who can I call when I get a Notice of Unemployment Insurance Claim Filed, DE 1101CZ, or Notice of Wages Used for Unemployment Insurance Claim, DE 1545 and I want to talk to someone before I fill it out? Contact EDD.
4. Why is there a ten day response time to the Notice of Unemployment Insurance Claim Filed, DE 1101CZ? California law sets the ten day response time, and federal law requires EDD to pay or deny benefits promptly. Employers should respond to the DE 1101CZ immediately. However, if the response is late for an unavoidable reason, EDD may extend the response time.
5. Where should I send my response to the Notice of Unemployment Insurance Claim Filed, DE 1101CZ or DE 1101ER? Employers should send their response to the return address shown on the form.

If the form is not available, obtain the correct address from the Return Mail Addresses for Employer Responses list.
6. Why didn't I hear from EDD after I sent my response? The Department does not reply if the employer's response only reports the last day of work, or that the employee was laid off due to a lack of work.
7. What should I do if my response to one of EDD's forms is late? If you are not able to respond timely to one of our forms or notices, submit the requested information immediately after the reason for the delay has ended. Along with your response, explain why you were not able to respond within the time limit. If the response is late for an unavoidable reason, EDD may extend the response time. Keep in mind that the longer the delay, the more substantial the reason for the delay must be.
