UIF payment refused

I was dismissed in Desember 2018, had to move as my husband has been unemployed for over 2 years and we had no income. Every time I tried submitting on line something happened. First my ID was blocked then they were off line and now I get an sms that it was refused. I have had no income for over 3 months and don't have any means of getting to a dept of labour office to find out what is happening. No one is prepared to help you with money or getting there as family has given us a roof overy our heads and that is the help we have. No one being unemployed have the means to wait and then be refused. Dear ANEL. UIF Claim rejected. Notice of Appeal can be submitted at a Labour Centre. Enquiries contact local Labour Centre . Case No : 30002484269

Dependant Benefits

DEPENDANT BENEFITS
I submitted my claim on the 4 Jan & was assured that all paperwork was in order. Two weeks later i received a call from labour department requesting to submit two other documents which i did on the 25th Jan only to be asked to submit a burial order even though i submitted death certificate. Their reasoning death not registered yet on their system. I go to home affairs for assistance they guide me when i eventually return to labour they say they dont need it because the death is showing now. On the 6th Feb i go again because its the date theyve given me hoping i can sign & get the money the next day only to be told the claim has been rejected but they cant tell me because they need to access the file first. The travelling to & from is costly & i had to resign because i relocated for a job offer to be there for my kid after the passing of her dad. I need the money to provide for them now more than ever.

No payout

My father has been struggling to get his UIF payments for nearly 3 months now. When he goes in to the Alberton offices, he must sign a new form each time and the next payment date is moved further. He is then told the money will be in his account within the next 7 to 10 working days. This has happened more than once and still no money. He has gone in to query twice already and twice he was told that they don't know what the problem is, they would sort it out immediately but nothing! It has been 15 working days since he signed again and still nothing. My dad is not working, has no income but must catch 2 taxi's into Alberton and 2 taxi's to get back home. No body wants to lend an unemployed person money, because how do they get their money back! How must my dad get back to the Alberton UIF offices, there again! Can anyone tell us what is going on with the UIF payments?

Illness Benefit

Good day

I write this email out of concern due to the fact that my UIF benefit has ended whilst I'm still on temporary disability leave from work.

I was booked off due to my contraction of tuberculosis since 09 March 2018 to 31 August 2018.

I was told on the 5 July 2018 that I would receive my last payment, but now I'm still at home for a month with no income, fully dependant on the funds I would've received from the UIF.

Name: Girshwan Jansen
Contact number: 0620745189

Kindly assist in providing clarity as to why I no longer receive payments, and if I should still receive a payment, which process should I follow.

Domestic worker UIF

Good day. I went on pension end of May 2018 and gave my domestic worker notice and paid her the notice period. I however searched for work for her because I wanted to help and she was working for me for very long. I founded work for her and she immediatly started working. She now insists that I complete the forms for UIF but she is working. Her new employer doesn't want to register her. He says she must first claim and after she received all the benefits he will register her otherwise she will not get benefits. I do not wish to commit fraud. Should I complete the forms for her to claim knowing that she is working ?

Why the resigned don't qualify

I want to know, is it a must for employees to pay uif or I can choose not to pay it? I ask this because I found out that I can't claim uif if I resign from work so since then I dont think is advisable for me to pay uif ,I'll rather save that money for my self and use it whenever I'm in need of it it. I resigned last year because I was working for a bad boss and I never got help even after reporting her,instead things were getting bad for me because I couldn't watch her do wrong things and keep my mouth shut.so I quitted my job and started looking for another job...in those months I really needed money and I was Hoping I'll get uif but they told me I couldn't... Cos I resigned..I was so sad because that is my money,I worked for it. Now I owe people cos I kept on lending money from them so I can keep searching for job. Please tell me is not a must to pay uif...I don't want to pay it...if this is how it works... That's my money.

How can u denied me my money . at some points we work with heartless bad managers or supervisors and if you a good person ,u resign cos u don't want be involved in the scams ur bosses do as u don't want to loose your job by crimes u did not commit. Is unfair to deny me my money because I resigned...

no UIF benefits

I registered for UIF on the 27 November 2017 at the Thusong Centre in Maponya Mall. Iv been for two form signings already and still haven't received anything. An acquaintance told me that they are practicing witchcraft because everytime i enquire they have excuses. i guess the only time they will learn a lesson is the day i walk in that place with a loaded pistol and start shooting up the place.

Claim delays

Submitted my claim originally in nov 2016
No correspondence until July 2017
Managed to find someone to help and they asked for additional information.
Now they say the documentation is fine but cant tell me when my claim will be processed.
Is this the norm with the Department of labour because now I have no clue how to get my claim processed.
S Zacchino (0832366032) The call center is not very helpful, they just read what I see on my ufiling profile anyway,

Uif Maternity

Good day I am greatly disappointed in the service I have been receiving telephonically from the uif support staff. Everytime I called in was told they are offline and that they are unable to help me and they took my details everytime. I was also told that a manager would call me back but obviously this never happened. I applied for uif in the beginning of June and I still have not received a payment. I have been unable to pay bills... I am almost going back to work and I still have not received a cent. I do not see why I have to struggle to get money that is due to me. What can I do to get my money.

Short payment of benefits

Hi,

I was retrenched in 2015 and submitted my UIF claim timeously, only to be paid several months later.This only after months of follow up calls(when I could get through) and e-mails.

UIF then contacted me to say that I was short - paid and I needed to submit documents that I had already submitted.I resubmitted the documents and have followed up via e-mail and telephonically ever since, but to no avail.

I've complained to the UIF complaints Dept, I've sent numerous e-mails to the agent I was dealing with and even to the Director General, Dorothy and I have still not received payment.

I don't know what else to do, as no one is assisting me.
