When your employer terminates your service, you can apply to the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) for benefits.
The benefits are only available to you if you have been contributing to the UIF while you worked. You cannot claim if you have resigned, been suspended or absconded from work. You may claim if the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) considers the resignation as a constructive dismissal.
To qualify for benefits, you must register as a work seeker. You must apply for the UIF benefits as soon as you become unemployed or within six months of the termination of your employment.
uFiling is a FREE service offered by the UIF.
UIF returns can be done simply and conveniently online.
Other benefits include ease of secure payments (Debit Order and Credit Push via Internet Banking) and faster processing times.
uFiling is paperless and submission of declarations are instant and reliable.
