Notice of Unemployment Insurance Claim Filed, DE 1101CZ
- The EDD decides if a claimant is
eligible to collect benefits. To
make this decision, we conduct
telephone interviews with claimants,
employers or their representatives
and review statements submitted in
writing.
- After a decision is made, the
EDD will
mail a Notice of Determination or
Notice of Determination/Ruling, DE
1080CT to claimants who do not
qualify for benefits. We also mail a
DE 1080CT to employers who respond
in writing and within time limits
about a quit, discharge, or other
issues that may prevent payment of
benefits.
- Employers or claimants who
disagree with the written decision
have the right to appeal the
decision.
- Claimants complete and submit a
form for each week they wish to
claim benefits. The forms are
usually for two weeks at a time and
claimants must certify that they
have met eligibility requirements
for each week benefits are claimed.
- After the Department pays the
claimant the first week of benefits,
a Notice of Wages Used for
Unemployment Insurance Claim will be
mailed to you, DE
1545 to the claimant’s base period employer(s). Base period employers
may be charged for all or part of a
claimant’s benefits.
- To ensure accuracy, base period
employer(s) review the information
reported on the DE 1545. The form
shows the claimant’s identity, wage
and employment information. The base
period employer(s) use the DE 1545
to notify the Department about
separation information and to
correct errors on wages reported to
EDD. The time limits for reporting
separation information is 15 days
from the date the form was mailed.
Wage corrections must be reported
within 20 calendar days from the
date the DE 1545 was mailed.
- A Department representative
reviews a base period employer’s
response to the DE 1545 and decides
if the employer’s account will be
charged for the claimant’s benefits.
The EDD mails a Notice of Ruling, DE
1080CT to the employer who submitted
separation information within the
time limits. A favorable or
unfavorable decision that is sent to
a base period employer(s) does not
usually change a claimant’s
entitlement to benefits.
- A base period employer who disagrees with EDD’s written decision may file an appeal.
