The Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) is a government-run fund in South Africa that provides financial support to workers who lose their jobs or experience reduced working hours due to circumstances beyond their control, such as retrenchment, illness, or maternity leave. To access UIF benefits, workers must register for the fund and make regular contributions.
Workers can log in to their UIF profile to check their account balance, view their transaction history, and submit claims for benefits. To do so, they need to have an active UIF account and know their login credentials, which include their UIF reference number and PIN.
To check your UIF account balance, you can follow these steps:
- Go to the UIF website (www.uif.gov.za) and click on the “login” button in the top right corner of the homepage.
- Enter your UIF reference number and PIN to access your account.
- Once you’ve logged in, you should be able to see your account balance on the dashboard or account overview page.
If you’re having trouble accessing your UIF account or checking your balance, you can contact the UIF call centre for assistance. They can provide you with guidance on how to reset your PIN or resolve any other issues that you may be experiencing.
