Navigating the complexities of unemployment can be challenging, particularly in the state of California. The Employment Development Department (EDD) is committed to providing support to individuals who are unemployed or disabled and can’t work, as well as parents on leave to care for a newborn or foster child or to bond with a child entering the individual’s family through a court order. They offer various programs such as Disability Insurance (DI), Paid Family Leave (PFL), and State Disability Insurance (SDI) to cover some of the wages you may be losing due to these circumstances.

The easiest way to contact EDD is to visit the EDD’s Contact Us page. From there you can select from a variety of services including unemployment insurance, disability insurance, employment services, and more. Most people find the fastest way to get through to EDD is to call early in the morning or late in the evening.

For specific programs like SDI, contacting SDI is simple when utilizing the specific contact information provided on the EDD website. For Paid Family Leave (PFL) queries, contact PFL through the contact number on the EDD’s Contact Us page.

Knowing how to get a hold of these services is critical for ensuring you access the benefits you’re entitled to. Remember, EDD customer service is there to support you during challenging times, so don’t hesitate to reach out when needed.
