Navigating the various branches and services of the Employment Development Department (EDD) in California can sometimes be a daunting task. There’s a vast range of services from unemployment insurance to Paid Family Leave (PFL). Here’s a quick overview of the most contacted services and how to get hold of them.

The Unemployment Insurance program provides temporary and partial wage replacement for workers who have lost their job or had their hours reduced, through no fault of their own. The fastest way to get through to an EDD live person for queries related to UI is to call on their given phone number.

The State Disability Insurance (SDI) is a partial wage-replacement insurance plan for eligible workers who are unable to work due to non-work related illnesses or injuries. To contact SDI, use the dedicated SDI phone number or you can visit the nearest local office.

Paid Family Leave (PFL) provides benefits to individuals who need to take time off work to care for a seriously ill family member or to bond with a new child. You can get a hold of Paid Family Leave by calling their specific hotline.
