UIF for Android

About the mobile solution

UIF is a free Android application created by Vodacom Pty Ltd to give claimants a simpler, self-service option for interacting with unemployment insurance services. The app reduces the need to stand in long queues at labour centres and speeds up routine tasks by enabling claimants to manage many aspects of their UIF matters from their phones.

• Reduced time spent travelling or waiting at labour centres
• A more convenient and user-friendly way to handle claims and enquiries

Core capabilities

• Submit a payment-continuation request online, without having to visit a labour centre
• Track the status of an active claim and receive updates on progress remotely
• View declarations made by your current employer, including the declaration date
• Lodge complaints or queries through the app for follow-up by the UIF office
