Welcome to myAppeal.

As part of a continuous effort to provide increased accessibility, improved support, and timely due process for California’s employers, unemployed, and disabled workers seeking to appeal their benefit or payroll tax determinations made by the Employment Development Department (EDD), the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board (CUIAB) has implemented a secured online public portal.

In order to create and register an account on the CUIAB public portal, you must have an active appeal and case number. Once you have filed an appeal with the EDD, the CUIAB will send an Appeal Acknowledgement and Welcome Letter, which notifies parties that the CUIAB has received the appeal and provides information necessary to create and register for a myAppeal account. Parties have an opportunity to register at any time, even after receiving the appeal hearing packet decision.

Please be advised that while the online public portal has been made available, only parties with active appeals assigned to the Office of Appeals in the Bay Area, Fresno, Inglewood, Inland, Los Angeles, Orange County, Oxnard, Pasadena, Sacramento, San Diego, and San Jose will be eligible to create a myAppeal account. The Office of Tax Appeals will be added in 2024. For appeals assigned to the Office of Tax Petitions, parties must continue contacting the CUIAB to obtain information regarding their appeal. Click on Contact Us, located at the top-right of this page, for the latest contact information for that respective office.
