YOUR EMPLOYEE WAGES MAY SHOW “$0” AND/OR AN EMPLOYER MAY BE MISSING FROM THE TABLE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS NOTICE IF:
  • Your identity needs to be verified by the EDD. In this case, the EDD will send you a Request for Identity Verification, and you must follow the instructions on that form in order to proceed with your claim.
  • Your earnings were reported under an incorrect SSN. In this case, please contact the EDD. (See instructions below.)
  • You worked for a federal agency and wages are being verified. In this case, the EDD will mail you an Amended Notice of Award once the wages are verified or contact you by mail if additional information is needed from you.
  • Your employer failed to report your earnings. For example, this could be the case if your employer called you an independent contractor and issued you a 1099 tax form. In this case, please contact the EDD. (See instructions below.)
IF YOU DISAGREE WITH INFORMATION IN THE TABLE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS NOTICE, including:
  • Your wages are missing or incorrect.
  • An employer is not listed, or an employer is listed for which you did not work (and you were not a federal employee).
THEN YOU MUST CONTACT THE EDD by mailing a letter to the EDD mailing address on the other side of this Notice within 30 calendar days of the “Mail Date” printed at the top of this Notice. If you do not contact the EDD within 30 days, you may miss your opportunity to inform the EDD that your claim should be investigated to determine whether your award should be changed to a different amount. The EDD may extend this 30 day period for good cause.
PLEASE PROVIDE:
  • Your full name, address, and Social Security number, and
  • Proof of wages (including a W-2 or 1099, pay stubs, cash receipts or other documents showing your earnings) and any employment information you want to add to your claim, or
  • If you did not work for an employer in the table, a statement that you did not work for a listed employer.
IMPORTANT: If you fail to notify the EDD of any inaccurate employment or wage information on the other side of this Notice, you may be subject to an overpayment, and other disqualifications and penalties if you intentionally withhold information.
THE FOLLOWING IS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR EACH ITEM LISTED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS NOTICE:
  1. The date your claim begins.
  2. The date your claim ends.
  3. The total amount of money you can receive from this claim.
  4. The maximum amount you can be paid each week, if you meet the weekly eligibility requirements.
  5. The total amount of earnings reported by the employer(s) during the quarters listed in the table for item 12. These earnings were used to compute your maximum benefit amount.
  6. The calendar quarter listed in the table for item 12 with the highest amount of earnings. These earnings determine your weekly benefit amount.
  7. The amount listed, if applicable, is your award without the wages earned from a public or nonprofit school. If you worked for a public or nonprofit school during any of the quarters listed in the table for item 12, you may not be able to use those wages in your claim during a school recess period.
  8. Under the law, you must make all reasonable efforts to find work when claiming benefits.
  9. The Unemployment Insurance Code (Section 1277) requires that you work between the beginning and the ending dates of a prior claim to have a valid claim the next year. If this applies to your claim you will receive additional instructions.
  10. The type of base period used to establish your claim; it will be either the Standard Base Period or the Alternate Base Period.
  11. The name used by your employer(s) to report your earnings to the EDD during each calendar quarter listed.
  12. These are the potentially usable wages for UI purposes that your employer(s) reported you earned during each calendar quarter listed. Each calendar quarter spans a three-month period. These earnings determine the amount of your benefits award.
  13. The name(s) of the employer(s) you worked for during the calendar quarters listed in the table for item 12.
  14. The total amount of earnings reported by all employer(s) in each calendar quarter listed in the table for item 12.

If the claim is cancelled, it cannot be reopened.
