SASSA SRD R350 applicants woke up to the news that they have been declined and what was the reason? UIF Registered for 2023.

Among the criteria SASSA is using to approve applicants is the fact that the applicant must not be receiving uif funds nor qualify for UIF.

What that means is that even if you are currently not receiving uif, but you’re registered with UIF, you are not eligible for the SRD R350 Grant.

Thousands of applicants were declined on the basis that they are uif registered.

What is UIF REGISTERED? April 2024

Unemployment Insurance Fund also known as UIF is a form of insurance policy for some employees who meet their qualifications. It is a short term financial assistance to employees who have lost their jobs or become unemployed or unable to work due to for example illness, maternity or adoption leave. Dependants of a contributed worker who have passed away can also claim UIF.

They are paid in various forms or categories namely : Unemployment benefits, sickness benefits, maternity benefits, adoption benefits and death benefits.

But those who have been declined for UIF registered are also claiming they have not worked before and are unemployed.

So the question is how come such applicants have their names in the UIF registered database for which these applicants are not aware of.

To find out more about your status in the UIF, you can contact UIF on 0800030007 to check if indeed you are due for UIF unemployment benefits or which company registered you.
