No 2nd payout from UIF

I went to department of labour on the 5th October 2018 for 2nd signing, and still today i haven't got the payment. I got the 1st payment on the 11th of September 2018 after my first signing on the 6th Sep, it took only 3 days to get paid. So why now is it delaying?? Will i still get paid for this 2nd time??

No 2nd payout from UIF

I received my first normal payment 3days after signing, and was given the 2nd date to in which it was last week Friday ( 5th October 2018), i did sign, but still today i haven't got my 2nd payment. What may be the problem because i am expecting the payment after 3days, i was not told if there was any mistake when i was at the labour offices but instead i was given the 3rd return date.

Aai am so pissed.

Employee trying to claim Maternity UIF

Good day I have a employee that needs to apply for her Maternity UIF at the Boksburg offices of the Department of Labour. Our phone lines and internet was off for more than a week. She left on the 21/09/2018 I gave her all the forms but know where it said she needed a UI-19 form. On Tuesday 25/09/2018 she went to the Boksburg office to apply and they refused to help her because she did not have a UI-19 form. She came back to the work office I typed the Department of Labour Boksburg a letter to ask her to please assist her with the UI-19 form they refused and told her they cant give her one the do not have and if they go on the internet to print her one they could be arrested. This is so stupid really. So I was able to print her one Wednesday evening and filled it in she came to fetch it Thursday 27/09/2018 when she got to the Boksburg Department of Labour they could again not assist her because they where attending a Memorial this is crazyness.

I do really not know what to say anymore this is a shock because she must go up and down and they want to tell her they will get arrested if they give a copy of a UI-19 for real what do they think that everybody is un educated they make me sick.

UIF Maternity Claim

Hi,

I am still struggling to get my Maternity UIF payments since 2015.

I received an SMS that time that they received the doc's. I then followed up and an sms was sent saying that the doc's are incomplete. The doc's was submitted again and then I received an sms saying that it is in "APPEAL", since then, I have tried phoning (which is a mission as no one can really assist you - sent from pillar to post) and then they could not trace me on the system? How is it possible to receive sms's saying the claim is submitted and then "appealed" but cannot find me on the system?

We really need someone to assist us with the claims as it is money that is due to us.

I have ever since sent complaints where I have received a response and after that, nothing whatsovever. Why must we lose OUR money that we work so hard for?

Not even sure this root that we took, will help us solving the issue. The site is there but is it even looked at?

UIF Pension Claim outstanding for 6 months

UIF Connect have been dragging us around by the nose since February 2018 when we registered through them for my husband's retirement UIF.

We have provided all documentation, a payout received once and never again.

Then we were asked to get a letter from his employer of 23 years to prove that he did work with them! This was provided all in one day.

To-date we are told each week that first the information had not been uploaded, now it has been uploaded but still awaiting approval for payment.

We actually do not know what to do anymore. Is there a UIF Ombudsman?

Maternity benefits

Hi

I submitted my maternity claim in 2016 going there with a 2weeks old baby 4 times as one of the days am being turned back because of a document and on other days the system is not working, I phoned sometime in July 2018 to find out about my claim and was told it has expired, so I want to know if I didn't get the money where did it go, cause the consultant doesn't count those years that I didn't receive the money.

Maternitty Claim Unpaid

I am utterly disgusted at the service of this department, I have submitted and STILL submitting ALL documents since March 2018.
I have called in repeatedly asking how far my claim is and without fail "documents are missing". I called in again on the 2 August 2018 and I was told "all documents have been received, your claim will be processed", I called today (20 August 2018) and this RUDE woman tells me documents are missing. WHAT is going on in that office and department? I am FURIOUS! If I had to solely rely on that payment to survive, my baby and I would be dead because of starvation. Not only that, not having money during my maternity leave because my claim is taking so long, creditors are now demanding money from me. Just calling in alone is so frustrating because I have to speak to staff that either 1 - don't know what the hell they are doing or 2 - are terribly rude and have a bad attitude. I don't even want to voice my opinion on the staff you have to face when actually going into a department of labor! I think that the UIF service is PATHETIC and as for the employees...just as PATHETIC and no form of skilled workmanship.

UIF

UIF PAYMENT-4 MONTHS NOW-STILL NOT PAID OUT!

Worst service ever!

I do not believe that something like this is possible.
Nine times up and down!
Still not sorted out!
Why do they employ people that have no clue of what they are doing?
The worst service ever!
Please upskill your people in the necessary departments.
It is really stresful and annoying to claim UIF.
I believe from my own experience and word of mouth that Polokwane is the WORST branch ever!!!!!!!!!!!

UIF full claim not received

Kindly assist I've explaining my situation over and over and keeps on getting the same answer which does not make sense.I have submitted my documents over and over to the webmaster e-mail and also 2months ago to your Athlone office,but nothing gets done.I was only paid unemployment fund for the last year worked for African Bank,then was requested to get salary schedule and UI19 from 2014 which I did and submitted it over and over like I mentioned.
I was only paid unemployment funds on African Bank's new registration number 2353598/4 when the bank became the new bank 04/04/2016 which was a year before I was retrenched.
I did not receive my unemployment funds for the other 3 years to complete the 4years I'm suppose to receive,which was when African Bank was still on the old registration number 0133116/3 from 2014 to cover my 4 years that I'm suppose to still
receive.

delaying uif claim payments claimed at Rustenburg Nw

I have been a contributing member of the uif for the past seventeen years and unfortunately I got retrenched on march of 2018, I then submitted all the documents needed at the Rustenburg labor department to can access my payment, but till today I haven't received a penny from the labor department. I believe the government deduct that money from us so that we don't get stranded incase one loose his job due to unforeseen circumstances, so if we have to wait six months whilst someone who is getting paid every month keeps telling you to be patient and not doing his job.pls assist look into my claim and help me coz its really hard to make ends meet without an income, my cell no is 0718840996 my I'd no 8211195438085.

Lack of customer care

I want to claim retirement benefits which I am entitled to.

I have registered months ago but when I wanted to login, my details were not recognised. Nor could I reregister, because I was already registered.

Then I contacted Customer Care to help met and they asked me to send them my login name and other details. That happened on 5 June 2018. And that was the last I heard from them.

Please help me to get this thing finalised.

Thank you

UIF Paymen

good day

trust you are well,

Please kindly assist with the urgent query, I have a brother who passed on in 2006 and my Mother has been going to the Department of Labour to request assistance with Payments that are related to Provident fund, Pension Fund and UIF that her son has been paying for years.

The who 10 years of her life going up and down looking for assistance and nobody can assist her on how to claim. She was than told that she is not entitled to anything that her son paid for all this Years.

Than I called Dolly who than took a picture of the website that shows that only the Spouse and child can claim for UIF only but the others the mother can get payment for them.

Am deeply frustrated about the information given and the up and downs that an 60 year old had to go through her life.
Can I get direct details of the person I can contact as I have questions related to all of this as Tshegofatso, Dolly and the rest of the people don't have direct answers but giving me a run around.

contact number is 0834701624 .
