GR 41-407.2 – EDD
Referral Process ABP
589
How are referrals to EDD made?
The ABP 589, General Relief Notice to Register for
Work, (a LEADER generated form) is used to refer
individuals to EDD. Registration is also required of
those whose employability status has been
changed to Employable.
Employable individuals must self-register at the
EDD office.
Although EDD does not stamp the ABP 589 as
verification of registration, the individual must
return the printout received at EDD as part of the
self-registration process.
EDD requires identification for all individuals
who utilize their services. Identification required
by EDD is similar to GR requirements.
Refer to GR 40-111.2 for GR identification
requirements.
Individuals who do not have acceptable
identification may be aided on an interim basis
pending receipt of permanent identification when
all other GR requirements are met.
Refer to GR 40-111.1 for identification
requirements.
‣ A 60-day FAC is established for the receipt
of identification
‣ The individual is not re-referred to EDD.
Each employable individual is given seven
calendar days from the date of application to
register for work with EDD. If the seventh
calendar day falls on a weekend or holiday, the
EDD registration due date is the next working
day.
GR 41-407.3 – Noncompliance:
Failure to
Register at EDD
Is non-compliance initiated when an individual
fails to register for work?
Yes, when employable individuals fail to register for
work, without good cause, non-compliance is
initiated by LEADER.
