Mailing something to EDD?
USPS now postmarks mail when it’s processed, not when it’s dropped off. To avoid delays, mail early or use
myEDD
whenever possible. Submitting online is the fastest and most secure way to send documents to us.
To continue receiving your benefit payments, you must certify every two weeks. Repeat
Step 5
until your employment situation changes.
We will remind you to certify every two weeks by sending you an email. If you’re certifying by paper, we’ll send you a
Continued Claim Form
(DE 4581) in the mail.
The certification questions can be confusing. Read them carefully, and visit
Understanding the Certification Questions
for helpful tips.
Report any wages and any work
—even if you were not paid yet. Select
Report Wages
in UI Online for help calculating your wages before you certify.
