No 2nd pay out from UIF

I've received a normal 1st pay out after my claim but no 2nd pay out.
I really depended on that money and urgently had to make a plan.
What is wrong and where will that money go because obviously I've missed the bus now.

CLIENT OUTSTANDING INTEREST

I have sent a request in April, June and again in July requesting that UIF offices calculate the interest that is outstanding on the client. the client was in arrears from 2014 - 2016 which was paid at the bank and proof sent through on this so-called email address: [email protected] - what a joke - you get a ticket back with no subject line, so I wouldn't know whether they are busy with that specific query!!! I have sent numerous, various queries through.
I phone today to sort this out and besides the fact that the consultant initially isn't interested in helping you, you get a security question which does not coincide with their system - a simple question like a telephone no - for pete's sake the important information was given, ie, uif no, physical/postal address, co reg no. and yes, I get it, its for security, but please start using your discretion and start prioritising when it is an urgent matter when it comes to the client's needs, which is your bread and butter at the end of the month.

so here we are back to square one - the client is leaving SA at end July because they are from Japanese origin and the only employee who is being retrenched at end July, will not be benefiting from UIF (which has been paid up) just because of incompetent staff that is unhelpful in calculating what the outstanding interest is for this period so that it can be PAID!!!!!!!!!!
Seems, UIF that you are not interested in revenue at this time.
Highly disappointing experience throughout my bookkeeping career. Maybe you can take some client services tips from SARS these days!!!

UIF Maternity Claim

Hi,

I have done the UIF maternity claims through a company called Little Monkeys in April. I had to resubmit a few documents but all was approved towards the end of April. It’s now almost the end of my maternity leave and I have not received any single payout. May I kindly get assistant because I contribute towards UIF since I started working, I have been told my claims were sent through to an assessor but how long does that actually take because it has been the entire 4 months.

Regards

UNPAID MATERNITY BENEFIT

I have submitted my claim on the 3 January 2018, baby was born 26 January. I have changed my surname from Schwartz to Mohulatsi being my dad's surname. The office in Secunda requested that I should submit a bank statement with my new surname and copies of the relevant ID's which I did after I went to enquire as to if the claim was approved, that was 23 March 2018. They informed me to wait for 2 - 3 three weeks as they will submit documents to Witbank. I informed the officials that I will be returning back to work on 03 April. various telephone enquire were made and the response was that the system is not yet updated it states "surnames differ" After talking to one Elizabeth who I was told is the supervisor, she found the documents and while I was on the phone with her she informed me that she is submitted them immediately. she will contact me back after 1 week. 2 weeks went by and I contacted the offices again this time I spoke to Sibusiso (male) who informed me that he will follow up and come back to me few days went by and I contacted the office again. this time I spoke to a Puleng. she looked into the matter and informed that we should re-submit but this time I should collect a new bank form, get a letter of confirmation from the Dept of Homes Affairs together with copies of my old and new ID, which I did last week. Today (11.07.2018)I contacted the offices only to find out that Puleng is on leave and spoke to Zanele. she informed me that Sibusiso will be in after two I should come then. I went there with no luck finding Sibusiso and spoke to Puleng again. On the system is stated that "surnames differ" and "claimant back at work" I informed her but claim and alternative documents were submitted long ago. She was not helpful at all and just informed me that she will again submit the documents to Witbank but cannot say when I should enquire again on the progress of the claim. I am so frustrated as they are here to assist us but have no sympathy or empathy towards the public. Please assist

Kind Regards

claim declined due to late submission

I need your help, I went to claim from my UIF but I was told my claim is late(9months). Therefore UIF was declined in April2018.
Is this legal? I was dismissed from my employment last year(2017-September) , but I have been sick to apply for UIF claims.
Who takes claims if claims are rejected due to these results since you have been contributing all these years? I worked for 10years from previous employer.

Is there any recourse here? I am frustrated!!!

retrenched and company takes 2 months to issue ui-19 UIF , now 2 months lost UIF claim

Hi
I sincerely hope someone here can help me please:

My wife , Michele Wright , Id: 670901002087 , was retrenched on 1 april 2018 , it took her company 2 weeks to send her the first ui-19 form , which was incorrect when she went to the UIF offices the first time , since then she has been back 4 times to UIF with 4 'updated ui-19 forms from her old company and only today , 13 June 2018 , did her old employer get it right wrt the ui-19 form. She was employed for 20 years at the same company. UIF informed her that due to the delay by her previous employer she has now lost 2 1/2 months worth of unemployment benefit , due to no fault of her's but due to the fault of her previous employer dragging their feet to issue a correct ui-19 form.

so , what recourse does she have ? , can she submit 'something' to UIF to get them to pay her for the lost 2 1/2 months UIF ? , we really don't know what to do atm and are really struggling financially , God knows we can really put that lost money to good use.

thank you so much.

UIF Martenity Payout

Good day

I submitted my UIF maternity claim benefit in April 2018 and was informed that I will receive an SMS or email confirming my application and that the payment will be made into my account in 8 weeks. I completed all the required forms/documentation which I submitted at the Jhb-Alexandra Dpt of Labour office due to the fact that I work and reside in Jhb fulltime.

I am currently home in Dbn for my maternity leave and I recently went to the Isipingo-Prospecton Dpt of Labour to inquire about the delayed payout and informed them that I have not received an SMS nor an email confirming my application and to also find out how long it will take for the money to be paid into my account. The gentleman that assisted me give me a yellow form to complete told me it should not take more than a week for the funds to be paid into my account but I still have not received an SMS or email and I have not received my meternity payout.

I am booked to deliver on the 12 June 2018 and will be in hospital for a few days, which means I will not be able to physically go to the Dpt of Labour to make an inquiry myself.

This presents numerous financial challenges and assistance with this issue will be highly appreciated.

UIF

In January 2017: I went to the Soweto Labour Centre to apply for UIF. I was informed that I did not qualify due to the fact that I had "voluntarily resigned" from my employment with the NYDA, a long time ago, April 2016 and it was reported like that by the NYDA on the DoL system.

(Just for the record, I had never at any point submitted any letter of resignation to the NYDA).

I the appealed to the DD : LOC Ms A Moeng, who subsequently confirmed with me on 11/12/2017 ~ Ref: 02/10/17, that the employer had completed the UI 19 form and UI 2.11, copies of which were sent to me and I told I could therefore apply for UIF.

16 December 2017: I went to the Thusong Services Centre to submit my UIF application and all the required documents, including the UI 19 and UI 2.11.

31 January 2018: I received an email from a Mr Monyepao John Chueu, Beneficiary Services. This was to inform me that my UIF Application had been declined in terms of Section 17 (2) of the Unemployment Insurance Act.

01 February 2018: I submitted a Notice to Appeal as per Section 37 (1) read with Regulation 8 (1).

07 March 2018: To date, I have still not received any information on my Appeal application.

My life and that of my family is being seriously negatively affected by this long and unresolved matter on what I am legally entitled to, my UIF contributions and other benefits.

Kind Regards
