Notice of Wages Used For UI Claim, DE 1545
1. Who can I call when I get a Notice of Unemployment Insurance Claim Filed, DE 1101CZ, or Notice of Wages Used for Unemployment Insurance Claim, DE 1545 and I want to talk to someone before I fill it out? Contact EDD.
2. Why did I receive this Notice of Wages Used for Unemployment Insurance Claim, DE 1545 when the person left me to take another job? The EDD sent the DE 1545 because the former employee filed a claim for UI, and has subsequently been paid UI benefits.

In this situation, the employer should respond to the notice and explain how the job ended. If possible, provide the Department with the name and address of the employer for the other job. Employers are not charged for benefits when the former employee quit for a non-compelling reason. There is a fifteen day response time to this notice. However, if the response is late for an unavoidable reason, we may extend the response time.
3. If I already sent an answer to you after I got a Notice of Unemployment Insurance Claim Filed, DE 1101CZ, why did I receive this Notice of Wages Used for Unemployment Insurance Claim, DE 1545? The DE 1101CZ is mailed to the last employer at the time a UI claim is filed. The DE 1545 is mailed to all base period employers after the first payment has been made on a claim. These notices are required by law.

An employer may receive both notices for the same separation, but is only required to respond to the first notice received. The DE 1545 will indicate if an employer has already received a ruling on a separation based on the response to the DE 1101CZ.
4. What should I do if my response to one of EDD's forms is late? If you are not able to respond timely to one of our forms or notices, submit the requested information immediately after the reason for the delay has ended. Along with your response, explain why you were not able to respond within the time limit. If the response is late for an unavoidable reason, EDD may extend the response time. Keep in mind that the longer the delay, the more substantial the reason for the delay must be.
