I contributed towards UIF while I was still a temporary employees, this period is not covered in U19 form and the company is refusing to correct dates on U19 forms

I applied for uif in January 2018, I jad advised thw staff member who assisted me that I had got married, but had not gone to home affairs to update my id or bank account. I was told as long as my paper work and bank account have the same surname (maiden) there will be no issues. I cam back 35 days later as my application was approved to sign for payment... all went well and I waited my 10 working days to receive my payment. On the 12th day ... nothing. I called for them to tell me it was paid but didnt go through because of my name change. I then went into jpme affairs for the 3rd time to find out exactly what the problem was and what they needed me to do (now March) still no money. They informed me that I have to get a new id and change my surname with the bank so they can release funds... a simple process they explained. I asked can I get a temp id in the meantime so they can pay my money as my children were about to be kicked out of school for non payment. They said yes I can use the temp as my documents were processed already.I rushed off, took money I didnt have to get a new id, marriage certificate and temp id. To go back a 4th time (the next day) with my temp id as requested so they can pay me. The goal post was changed again and I must now wait for original id as they wont accept my temp id. How is that possible when a bank accepted it and you told me you would but then changed your mind. With no help and nothing I could do I had no choice but to wait. To go back a 5th time (now APRIL) with my original id on Friday to find out they decided to close the office for Zumas trial... to then go back a6th time yesterday 10.04.2018 for them to have lost the keys, all thinking it was a big joke and funny. We were all waiting from before 7am to be let in for them only to get the keys just before 9am. Anyway so now I wait with all my documents... they submit the forms but have to wait for head office (Gentlemans name is Mahesh Durban office) this is now 10.15 am... he tells me I have to wait until 12'30 to give him time to reply... I wait..... 12.30 comes and I ask when am I getting paid for him to say, they cant find the docs that were swnt 4 weeks ago and he never got the forms sent to him today.... To be told he will try call not even 2 mins later he tells me they not answering anf I must come back tomorrow. His words "hopefully we will have an answer for you" seriously. Is that what u actually telling me. When exactly will I receive my money. I have paid into this fund for over 10 years and now I need to claim every excuse under the sun why u cannot pay. When it boils down to incompetence . Staff who dont actually know what they are doing, who have no manners or people skills and treat you like absolute trash. How on earth am I supposed to live? Can someone please assist me. Im desperate. 0832876481 KYlie Arthur Robben

I applied for my UIF claim on the 17th of January 2018, according to the sms sent after the application it said progress will be communicated in 35 days. Yet now it is the 09th of April 2018 and still I am being told my claim is still not approved. Reasons for the delay are not given to me by the department's officials, all documentantion was submitted and is in order of the requirements. I do not know where to take this further, I have spoken to the supervisor but none assistance is received. Kindly assist..?? case number: 30000729571.

I have done the following to try and obtain the reason for the cancellations and still do not have an answer
Case number 30000721432 - payment canceled by Paymaster
Having emailed the [email protected] and not got any response I call the call center and was firstly told never to email because nobody will get back to me and that I must resubmit my claim.
Resubmitted claim Case number 30000982888 and this was canceled by Paymaster on the same day ... still no explanation.

I have again emailed and have spent 30 mins waiting for the call center to answer - also not expecting much more than the last time.

Who can I contact to actually have this resolved?

Hi, I was retrenched at the end of August 2017 and submitted my UIF claim at the Department of Labour in Goodwood on 21 December 2017. After the 35 day period has expired I went back to the Goodwood office to enquire about the status of my application. I was informed that the claim has not yet been finalised. Then, in early March 2018 I received an sms to say that my claim was rejected. I then went back to Goodwood's office to enquire as to the reasons for the claim being rejected. I was met with hostility by highly unco-operative worker, named Fabio.

I escalated my query to the office of the Minister, who after several weeks reverted to say that my surname was changed with the Department of Home Affairs to my married name (I got divorced 20 years ago and NEVER at any stage = even during my marriage changed my surname with any department to my married surname). I was then requested to send a copy of my ID document and copy of the divorce order to Abegail Bobani at the Department of Labour who advised that they will take the matter up with the Department of Home Affairs. This was about 3 weeks ago. Eversince, and despite sending a further email to Abegail Bobani to enquire about when I will receive my pay-out, I have not received any feedback.

With respect, I have worked for 26 years whilst contributing to the UIF fund, of which I am by law only allowed to claim for 4 years of that time. It has been 7 months since I was retrenched and 3 months since I have submitted my claim and still have received no positive response.

How does the Department of Labour justify taking money from its citizens and then for all sorts of cockamame reasons (my ID number has not changed at all) and based on records which were updated 20 years AFTER a divorce to the wrong surname, omit to pay claims? This is appalling and the question as to the viability of the UIF fund is becoming quite evident.

My credit record has suffered due to this refusal and omissions making it near impossible for me to find proper employment.

I am quite certain that this is an issue which should be made public so that the rest of South Africa's workforce, many of whom are 'sitting ducks' for similar circumstances, seen in the light of the economy where there is already an extremely high unemployment rate {and rising} to revisit the viability of contributing to a fund which clearly does not act to the benefit of the people who are dependent on it. The Department of Labour is failing to do its duty and protecting the rights and wellbeing of the people who they are responsible to.

It is time that this utterly unacceptable state of affairs and as I see on various sites numerous other complaints relative to failure to pay out UIF benefits to citizens for various reasons, be brought to the public's attention. It is against the Constitution and the Bill of Rights for a Department, established to act on behalf of citizens are so clearly and completely incompetent to do so. Just another example as to how our Government is failing to take care of citizens, especially those who have contributed positively to the economy and are now placed in situations where they must received a meagre portion of what they have contributed towards the COMPULSORY funds of this country, just to find themselves in utterly desperate situations.

I demand that I be refunded ALL monies paid to the fund, in the light of the fact that this law is clearly unconstitutional as I am now suffering unduly as a result. If the Department of Labour is not able to even meet their obligations to pay a small portion of what I have contributed to the fund on which I am now reliant it raises serious questions as to constitutionality of the compulsory contributions. (I am not the only person in this situation and I am quite sure that if the rest of the workforce, currently still contributing religiously to this bogus fund, get informed of what is the real state of affairs, it might well render the UIF fund to become redundant and being declared unconstitutional and merely a further manner in which the citizens of this country is robbed of their livelihoods.

Good day
I hope someone in a high position can phone the Dept of Labour in Kimberley and see if the switchboard is answered. Try this nr. 053 838 1500. Is someone being paid to NOT ANSWER the telephone?

Hi,

I applied for UIF on 10 November 2017 and have been following up since then. Every time I came the system was offline and my contact details were taken and was promised to be called yet no one has called to date.

Could you kindly assist me in completing the process. My son is even about to turn one and I still haven’t received any assistance in completing my application.

Good Day

I done an online application in December for my maternity benefit. I've uploaded the requested documents and did not receive feedback even after calling numerous times.I eventually went to the Labour department in Roodepoort where I was advised that I should change my surname back to my maiden surname as I was divorced and change my banking details as well after I had waited for three hours.Nevertheless I did what was requested and took it to the office and sent it through to someone assisting with online. I was told my money would be in on the 08 March and still waiting on their system it shows money paid but my bank account shows no deposit. I was advised I should complete a continuation of payment but I can't if I didn't receive the first payment. What happened to that money. I have since not received an explanation.

I applied for UIF in December and signed for the money on 9 February 2018 but up to now i still haven't received payment ,can someone please assist me.

Dear SIYABULELA BENJAMIN. UIF Claim rejected. Notice of Appeal can be submitted at a Labour Centre. Enquiries contact local Labour Centre . Case No : 30000791790

This is the sms I just received. Being a husband and father of two, receiving this sms just depresses me. When I went to do my submission I was told that all is well at the Athlone branch. Now I receive this sms with no explanation or details of the rejection.

This is so unprofessional and very disappointing.

How does one correct this?

Highly disappointed with this service

Hi my names Timothy muniz id number-8707095188084 im responding on behalf of my uif money im very unhappy with your guys service regarding my money iv been told I would be receiving my funds on the 1sy of January 2018 its going for the middle of February nw and still havnt received my money iv decided im going to take further action be aware use will receive a letter from the sheriff's department plz call me on -0814589613

Since 2 February 2018 our company are struggling for help and answers to reqtify a nature of business on our Letter of Good standing. We phoned all the provinces, only the Free State was willing to assist. We mailed all the documents to Pretoria and Free State, but now no one is reading their mails.
It is unacceptable that companies must struggle to get help from Labour, as this delay's causes lost of contracts and money. And this will affect the employees as well, no work no pay.

Is there any person that can assist with accepting our documents, as the company is already registered at coida.
Our company received a 2 year contract, but the Letter of good standing, stating the nature of business, is not correct.
We forwarded affidavits and new WA.2 form. We would just like confirmation that the company will be covered in the case of an accident.

If companies must struggle like this every time they assistance, I think Carte Blanche must be informed.
