California Notice of Employee Death is a document that is required to be filed by employers when one of their employees passes away. It is typically filed with the California Employment Development Department (EDD) and provides the EDD with information regarding the deceased employee, including their name, Social Security Number, date of death, and employer information. California Notice of Employee Death forms include the Form DE-7, Form DE-7a, and Form DE-7b. Form DE-7 is used to report the death of an employee who earned wages in the state of California. Form DE-7a is used to report the death of an employee who had no wages in the state of California. Form DE-7b is used to report the death of an employee who had wages in more than one state.
