You can also obtain a copy of the handbook by calling the EDD using one of the following toll‑free phone numbers listed below:

When your appeal is received, your case will be reviewed. If the decision is still the same, we will send your appeal to the Office of Appeals. If your appeal is mailed after 30 days, you must give a good reason for the delay or the Administrative Law Judge may dismiss your appeal.

The Office of Appeals will send you a letter with the date, place, and time of your hearing. At the hearing, the Administrative Law Judge will listen to you, examine the facts, and make a decision. You may bring a representative or someone else to help you.

For more information or help with your appeal, please call the number on the front of this form.

While you wait for the judge’s decision, you must continue to submit continued claim certifications for each week that you want to receive benefits online using UI Online℠, by phone using EDD Tele- Cert℠, or by mailing the paper Continued Claim Form, DE 4581. If you do not get claim forms or a hearing letter you may contact the EDD at one of the numbers listed above. If the judge decides you are entitled to benefits, we can only pay your benefits if claim forms were received.
