If you are retrenched, and you start claiming UIF only a few months later (still within the 6 month period you can apply for UIF), should the UIF Payment amount be from the date of unemployment to the claim date, or from when you started claiming unemployment only?
I was retrenched Oct 2017, started claiming Jan 2018, and now UIF is saying I can't get my UIF payments for Nov and Dec 2017 as I only started claiming in Jan 2018. I understood the 6 months to claim UIF as I could start claiming anywhere in the 6 months after becoming unemployed, and my UIF payment would be for the entire period I was unemployed.
