ByHow to Appeal Your Suspended EDD Account
If the , it means you can't get your unemployment benefits, but that doesn't mean you are necessarily out of luck. You still have a chance to appeal for the suspension, especially if you think the account has been suspended wrongly.
Once the account is suspended, you should check if you've received any email from EDD as soon as possible. One of the primary reasons they can suspend your account is if they detect any fraudulent activity.
In that case, you're required to verify your identity, and the sooner you do it, the better. Bank of America, which works with EDD, can also freeze your card for the same reason, and if such happens, you should call them using the number on the back of your card.
Luckily, you don't have to pass through the process alone – DoNotPay can help you appeal the suspension by formulating a demand letter to EDD or the Bank of America.

How to Avoid Being Suspended From EDD
