Uif is a waste

Claim for maternity never received anything or even a update its been 3 months now and nothing it's the first time I'm claiming and I have been working since 2017 and paying uif and It lookings like I'm not even going to be paid out ,really disappointing if I could not pay for this **** then I would because it's a waste of my hard working money .That money was to help me being a single mom with no help from family or partner that money was going to save me now I have to make loans left right and center for me and my newborn to eat and have a roof over our heads
