What is the time limit I must submit my claim with UIF?
The Unemployment Insurance Act underwent an amendment in 2019, extending the period for claiming Unemployment Benefits from six (6) months to twelve (12) months from the date of termination of services.
Therefore, individuals who have lost their employment can now apply for these benefits within a year from the date of termination of employment.
For Dependent Benefits, you have 18 months to claim.
