Notification of Unemployment Insurance Benefits Eligibility Interview
Why am I receiving this notice?
A potential eligibility issue described on the next page has been identified with your Unemployment Insurance
(UI) claim. You have been scheduled for a phone interview to provide information to an EDD representative. The
Department will use the information you provide to determine if you can be paid UI benefits. If you are not
available for your phone interview, a decision will be made based on the available information, which
may result in a denial of benefit payments.
between and Pacific Time
An EDD representative will call you at the following number. Translation services are available at no cost.
What should I expect during the interview?
You will be asked questions about your claim. Sample questions appear on the back of this notice. Be prepared
to answer these questions during the interview. You have the right to request more time to prepare, submit
evidence, present witnesses , and be represented by any person at your own expense. If you need more time, you
must reschedule your appointment prior to the time and date listed on this form. Rescheduling your interview
may delay your benefit payments as you have already been scheduled to the earliest appointment available.
We may contact former employers or other w itnesses to verify your statements or obtain information. You may
dispute any statements or evidence they provide.
How does this eligibility interview affect my benefit payments?
If you have nev er receiv ed a payment on your claim and have a potential eligibility issue, additional benefits
cannot be paid until the interview process is complete and your eligibility is determined. Continue to certify for
benefits and submit your bi-weekly certifications online, by phone, or by mail while this issue is being resolved.
If you received a payment on your claim, but additional payments have been pending for more than two weeks
because of an eligibility issue, we will process your conditional payment. If you continue to certify for benefits
while we are determining your eligibility, any conditional payment will be considered an overpayment if we later
find you ineligible for those benefits.
