The Temporary Employer/Employee Relief (TERS) scheme was established in 2020 to provide short-term financial support to employees who lost income during the pandemic.

If you work for more than 24 hours per month, you are required by law to make contributions to the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF).

The Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) recently announced that they will be distributing short-term financial relief to workers who were affected by the July unrest in parts of KwaZulu Natal and Gauteng.

The Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) and the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) both provide relief to people living in South Africa. However, their mandates are different.

The Covid-19 Temporary Employer/Employee Relief Scheme (TERS) was introduced to help support workers who lost income as a result of the Covid-19 lockdowns.

 The Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) is concerned about the number of fraudulent activities relating to the Temporary Employer / Employee Relief Scheme (TERS) applications.

The UIF provides temporary relief to workers who have recently become unemployed. If you were terminated by your employer, you may qualify for UIF benefits. You can immediately apply for UIF unemployment benefits.
