uif ters payment status

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 Unemployment Fund is racing against time in their quest to finalise all Covid-19 Temporary Employer/Employee Relief Scheme (TERS) claims before the end of the year.

The Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) provides crucial short term financial assistance to employees should they find themselves unable to work. 

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.
