With this service, you’ll receive a text alert when:
- Your claim is processed in our systems.
- Your first benefit payment is issued on your claim.
- You ran out of all available benefits and we filed a Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC) 13-week extension on your claim.
- You ran out of all available benefits, including PEUC, and we filed a Federal-State Extended Duration (FED-ED) extension on your claim (up to 20 weeks).
If we are unable to verify your identity, you’ll get a text alert that you should monitor your postal mail for the Request for Identify Verification (DE 1326C) form for further instructions. Once we verify your identity, you’ll get a text confirmation and your claim will continue to the next step.
Text alerts are sent from 510-74 to the phone number you included on your UI claim. This service cannot respond to any messages you send. If you need technical support or help with your UI claim, Contact Them.
There is no cost to use this service, but standard carrier fees for text messaging may apply. Please check with your wireless carrier if you aren’t sure what fees apply to you.
If you want to opt out of receiving text alerts from the EDD, reply stop. To opt back in, text unstop.
