The Department of Employment and Labour continues to support workers with payments through the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF), as well as working on processing Covid-19 claims that have come in through the Compensation Fund (CF), it says. For May, the UIF had disbursed close to R6-billion to 1.4-million individuals to help them cope with the worst effects of the lockdown, while the CF had logged 448 claims that have been received directly as well as via the Rand Mutual and Federated Employers.
