Amendments to the Unemployment Insurance Act that seek to improve the lives of Unemployment Insurance Fund beneficiaries have been hailed as progressive and movement towards world standards.
Cosatu parliamentary coordinator Matthew Parks welcomed the amendments, some of which came into effect on March 18. Others will be implemented later this year.

UIF COMPUTER SAYS NO: uFiling system down — the unemployed struggle to lodge claims for fundsThe Unemployment Insurance Fund’s uFiling system has been offline since 22 February 2019. Unemployed citizens have been unable to register for or claim financial benefits and have been struggling to find help from the Department of Labour’s call centre. The department seems to be only vaguely aware of the issue, despite the negative impact the downtime has had on its beneficiaries. UIF is a farce. Makes no sense to me.
