I had a problem in 2014 when I claimed the UIF and they paid me only once because I was employed already when they paid. This year again I went to claim and only to find out that because of the issues in 2014 Data captures ended up capturing the incorrect employer information that has to be removed now. When I ask at the Dept. of Labour how can this be resolved, they told me to ask said employer to remove my details but I explained several time I have never worked for that employer that is captured on my profile, hence I can't a proof of employment if I have not worked there. I am very frustrated with the incompetence there... I have been unemployed for 4 months now and need to pay my bills with my UIF. To top it all off, no one answers the phone I have wasted a lot of money calling different offices at the Labour Department but with no success. I have sent several emails but no response, I went to the Labour centre and they told me I must ask an employer I don't even know to fix the information then I can come back and claim. I have tried UFiling and the documents don't even load, again another money I DO NOT have GONE! I am sick and tired of this nonsense...

Please help me I have no money to pay rent this month and I reached out to siblings but end June I'm afraid I will be evicted cos I don't have any income. I was a bread winner at home and going home is NOT an option! Why must I suffer so much to get monies owed to me, I'm not borrowing from you, I simply want my money!

Kind regards,

Phole Mothibe

Client Service Officer in Bloemfontein offices, doesn't understand the Batho Pele, principle, he's has failed to provide great customer service, and harmful words, and laying accusations that have nothing to do with his work. please look into this immediately. I have proof of emails showcasing this harassment

I have applied for UIF on 14 October 2021 (case number [protected]). To date I have not received my money. They did say that all documentation has been completed and that it has been escalated in July but now I just don't get any feedback. They keep on telling me that I need to wait for them to contact me.

I am without a job and was working for Denel land systems from July 2009 till September 2022. I put in my claim end of November 2021 and it was approved on February 2022. With several continuation requests I got a payment in 2 sections in May 2022. After that I got nothing further.

I put in my claim at the end of November 2021. I left the firm on early pension because they did not pay salaries for more than 2 years. My claim was approved in February 2022. I received a once of payment in May 2022 in 2 segments. Through the whole time I needed constantly to renew my claim - 'continuation of claim'. It is now August and no further payment received.

i applied for my UIF in 2016, i have been to Maponya mall in the cold waiting in that long line to submit my documents.
up until today i have not received a cent from UIF. All the staff walks up an down and pretend that we are there to receive free goods, when all we want it our money, you guys really need to look into this as the staff also has this arrogant behavior, we have paid the government for this money! they are not giving it to us! This is so so so disappointing as we pay for this benefit and when we need the money its like we begging when we put in a claim.. My son is two already and every time i call or go there they tell me that it has not been captured, who will help me capture my documents as this is so long over due i want my money i have worked for it...it belongs to me. can anyone please help me as

CAN ANYONE HELP ME!
