file must be created for each client. Log in to the appropriate state unemployment
website to upload each file.

State Specific Notes:

• California—the file name should contain the company name.  Two separate files will be created in this step. The file you named will have the DE9C records.  An additional file will automatically be created with DE9 at the end of the file name.  This additional file contains the DE9 records. Always select Upload a Bulk Return File from the EDD e-Services for Business Main Menu to upload the file. If you try to upload the file after you have selected the client you will get an invalid file format error message.
