Understanding Eligibility Information
Eligibility information refers to the data that the EDD can provide to verify a person’s eligibility for Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits. Eligibility information can help ensure that the correct benefits are being paid and that fraud is not being committed.

To request eligibility information online, visit the EDD’s website and navigate to the UI Online section. If you have an existing account, log in and follow the prompts to request the information you need. If you don’t already have an account, create one and verify your identity to proceed with the request.
If you prefer to request eligibility information by mail, download and complete the Request for Record Information (DE 9361) form from the EDD’s website. Be sure to fill out the form accurately and completely to avoid delays in processing. Once you’ve completed the form, mail it to the EDD and include any necessary fees or documentation.
