What is a California EDD customer number?

The California Employment Development Department (EDD) customer number is a unique identification number assigned to individuals or entities who have interacted with the EDD for employment-related services or benefits. It is typically used to access and manage various EDD online services, such as paying and filing CA payroll taxes, filing for unemployment insurance, disability insurance, or paid family leave, among others.

The CA EDD customer number format will always be XXX-XXXX-X, and is the only format the Salsa system will allow. If Salsa notices the CA EDD customer number appears to be misaligned with general formatting (eg; 123-4567-8 or 999-9999-9) we will touch base with the partner and request additional documentation

To find your CA EDD customer number, you can try the following methods:

1. Check Your Tax Documents: Your EDD customer number should be listed on any tax documents you have received from the state of California, such as tax returns, notices, or other correspondences related to payroll taxes or unemployment insurance.
2. Contact the EDD: If you cannot find your EDD customer number on your tax documents, you can contact the California Employment Development Department directly at (888) 745-3886. Check our their website here for more details on how to contact them. They should be able to provide you with the customer number associated with your business.
3. Check Online Accounts: If you have an online account with the EDD for managing your business taxes or unemployment insurance, you may be able to find your customer number within your account information.
