Scopa has urged UIF to fix the shortcomings in its IT system used for disbursing emergency relief funds during Covid-19 lockdown period.
CAPE TOWN - Parliament's standing committee on public accounts has urged the Unemployment Insurance Fund to fix the shortcomings in its information technology system used for disbursing emergency relief funds during the coronavirus lockdown period.
Scopa had also asked the fund to submit a detailed report on the 16 cases of over payments and erroneous payments into bank accounts found so far, he said. Scopa welcomed the disbursement of over R25 billion to four million workers who had been negatively affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The committee, however, was concerned about the administrative delays in processing some disbursements, which had left almost one million employees in the lurch. Scopa believed there should be "a general overflow of communication between the UIF and the workers".
