The Unemployment Insurance Fund is encouraging Education Assistants and General School Assistants to apply for unemployment benefits. This is thousands of teaching assistants to qualify for unemployment benefits after making contributions.
The Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) has resumed its campaign of processing UIF payments to teaching assistants. Education Assistants and General School Assistants have been encouraged to apply for the UIF benefits they are entitled to.
The Basic Education Employment Initiative (BEEI) created employment opportunities for unemployed youth around South Africa. More than 850,000 employment opportunities were created for individuals between the ages of 18 and 34 years old during the first three phases of the programme.
Phase four of the BEEI is set to begin in February 2023. However, youth employed during the first three phases of the programme are not eligible to apply for jobs in the programme’s fourth phase.
This means that thousands of youth who were previously in employment may require some financial support in the coming months. Teaching assistants who participated in the first three phases of the BEEI are entitled to apply for UIF benefits.
The UIF provides temporary financial support to workers who previously contributed to the fund. All workers in South Africa are required to contribute to the UIF.
Teaching assistants are eligible to receive UIF benefits as they previously contributed to the fund. Their UIF contributions were deducted from their monthly remuneration before being paid into their bank accounts.
To date, the UIF has processed R36.5 million to 7,750 contributors.
The Department of Employment and Labour said teaching assistants must have a valid Identity Document or valid Passport Documents, a fully charged smartphone with data, and proof of account (banking details).
