Virtual Town Hall: Employment Development Department

Senate District 12 Friends and Families,

On Wednesday, June 17 from 12 noon to 1 p.m., I will be hosting a Virtual Town Hall, with the Central Valley representative from the Employment Development Department (EDD) to provide new information about how the department is working hard to handle the influx of unemployment insurance and benefit claims. The Virtual Town Hall will be available as a livestream video at my Senate website here: EDD TOWN HALL or on my Facebook page here: EDD TOWN HALL FACEBOOK. If you want to submit questions prior to the Town Hall, please use this address Senator Caballero Email. We will not discuss any personal cases or obtain data during the event.

Many people have had problems accessing information about their claims, or navigating EDD's processes during the pandemic. I want to remind you how you can contact the EDD.

You can call the EDD at 1-833-978-2511 seven days a week, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., if you need technical help to access UI OnlineSM, need help to receive an EDD Customer Account Number, and other general unemployment insurance questions. If you need help specifically with a claim or payment information, call the EDD at 1-800-300-5616. You can also visit the EDD's website about COVID-19 related help HERE. And as always, my staff is available to assist you – please reach us HERE.

Stay safe and be well,

Senator Anna M. Caballero
