UIF ufiling online complaint

I submitted my online application first week in May 2023 online however I was told after my status change to “paymaster close” I can expect payment within 7days. I contacted the contact centre and the agent advise I should wait 15 business days. After 15 business days they escalated the issue however they are still waiting for the relevant department. These agent are like robotics confirming everything we are able to see on our end and not trying to resolve the matter. It’s the third month however the agent then advise to submit another “continuation of benefits “ …how can I do that if I did not receive my first payment? Meaning this will initially be my second payment. I think the online ufiling portal are being ****med. The walk ins don’t have issues but the online applicants is still waiting and the agents is not going an extra mile to resolve the issue instead they provide the labour department contact number but no answer. I contacted 17737 they took my complaint hopefully they will put an end to this ufiling online portal.

I followed up and yet the same thing… “we are still waiting on feedback” it’s weird as there should be a “go to person” to contact via telephone if they not responding to escalations. Agent yet advised to submit another “continuation of payment” knowing very well I’ve submitted twice even though I never received my first payment. Apparently according to the sms I received my money has been collected when I never received a cent and it’s been 3months. These agents aswell as team leaders are not helpful. They should have a turn around time to attend to urgent matters however the just leave it there hoping someone will respond without following up on those escalations unless we don’t call nor contact the relevant department directly!!!

Online ufiling are busy with ***** by not paying out online applicants money. And agents do not go an extra to resolve the issue instead forward 100 escalations via email and not attempt to contact payment department directly to find out what’s happening. Neither do they follow up regarding any escalations unless we call and then they send another escalation. They are like robotics…!
