South Africa | Important UIF uFiling Service Downtime Notice
The UIF has announced that the uFiling platform is currently out of service until further notice. As a result, employers will not be able to submit UIF declarations via uFiling, and individuals will be unable to claim UIF benefits online.
In the meantime, employers can submit UIF declarations by downloading the UI.19 form from
www.labour.gov.za and sending the completed form via email to uif.declarations@labour.gov.za.
Employers using electronic payroll systems, such as PaySpace, will continue to declare their monthly UIF information by sending the electronic UIF file to the Fund, which is automatically done by PaySpace each month.
Individuals seeking to claim UIF benefits must visit their nearest UIF office. The UIF has extended operating hours at select service points to assist during this period.
