How To Upload Documents For Adoption Benefits Using uFiling

The Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) is a government-managed fund that provides short-term relief to workers when they become unemployed, are retrenched or are unable to work because of maternity, adoption leave or illness. 

The UIF is funded by contributions from both employers and employees, and it is intended to help workers maintain some level of income during periods of unemployment or incapacity. The UIF is an important social security system that helps to provide financial support to workers in South Africa during times of need, and helps to promote economic stability and growth.

You can now apply for UIF online, as well as upload your supporting documents online using uFiling.
