Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board publishes Spanish guide to register for myEPU online accounts
Summary
The Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board provided a Spanish-language guide describing how appellants and employers in California can register for a myEPU account to view appeals, submit documents and listen to hearing recordings.
The Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board on an informational recording explained how appellants and employers can register for an online myEPU account to manage unemployment- and disability-insurance appeals.
The guidance says those who have filed an appeal with the Employment Development Department (EDD) will receive a case acknowledgement letter containing a case number that appellants should use when registering for myEPU. The recording directed users to the Appeals Board website (cuiab.ca.gov) and the myEPU link in the site’s upper-right corner.
Staff member, Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board, walked listeners through required information and steps: a valid email address; for appellants, a CUIAB case number, Social Security number and date of birth; for employers, an EDD-issued employer account number and a phone number. The presenter instructed users to choose a preferred language on the myEPU sign-up page, read and accept the terms and conditions, select affiliation (appellant or employer), complete required fields marked with an asterisk and submit the form.
After submitting the form, the recording said a welcome email will be sent. Users must follow the link in the welcome email (or paste it into a browser) to confirm their address and create a password. Password requirements stated in the guide require at least eight characters, including an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, a number and a special character; passwords are case-sensitive. The presenter warned registrants to enter and confirm the password, then select the button to finalize the change.
The recording described features available to registered users: real-time access to appeal case information; the ability to view and submit case documents; the ability to listen to a hearing recording; and the option to submit additional appeals at any time, 24 hours per day, seven days per week. The presenter summarized the process again at the end of the recording in Spanish: “Ahora que se ha interpuesto una apelación ante el EDD, se le enviará una carta de reconocimiento de apelación y carta de bienvenida con su número de caso.”
No formal action, vote or policy decision was recorded; the item is informational guidance about the online registration process.
