Is UIF uFiling down right now?
Start with the live UIF uFiling status at the top of this page. Fresh UIF uFiling down reports from claimants and employers show if the portal itself is failing. A quiet pattern points at your account alone. A busy graph points to a shared problem.
When the graph stays quiet, work through your own sign-in details first. uFiling is strict about ID numbers and contact details, and a small mismatch can look like a full outage from your side.
Is UIF uFiling down for me or everyone?
Try signing in on a second device or a different network. If the portal loads there, your first device or connection is at fault. If both attempts fail the same way, check the reports above before you keep retrying your password.
Registering and activating your uFiling account
Registration asks for details exactly as they appear on your ID document. You choose email or SMS as your contact method, and an activation message follows with a link, a username and a temporary password.
Click the activation link before your first sign-in, because the portal refuses unactivated accounts. Your first login then forces a password change. Skipping the activation step is the most common reason new users get stuck at the door.
Tracking a benefit claim after you submit it
Claims for unemployment, maternity, illness and reduced work time move through one status screen. A claim can rest on submitted while assessors work the queue. Sign in weekly and watch for a change or a document request.
Declarations and the View Returns grid for employers
Employers file monthly declarations for each worker and pay contributions from the same account. The View Returns grid colours each period. Green means submitted, red flags a problem, amber shows a filing through another channel and grey means nothing filed. A red period blocks every later declaration until it is sorted out. When a UIF uFiling outage lands near a filing deadline, submissions pile up fast. File the oldest open period first once the portal recovers.
Getting through the security vetting questions
After your first password change, vetting questions check your answers against department records. Wrong answers lock the account for your own protection. Answer slowly, use the details on your ID, and stop after a failure instead of guessing again.
Common UIF uFiling Problems and Fixes
Most uFiling faults sit in activation, vetting or a stuck claim step. Find your error below and work through the matching fix.
Activation message never arrives
Check the spam folder and confirm the contact method you chose at registration. If nothing lands, your email or number was likely captured wrong. Contact uFiling support and ask them to activate the account from their side.
Locked out after the vetting questions
Failed vetting needs a manual check. Email a clear copy of your ID to the uFiling support team and ask for manual verification. Once they clear you, sign in and answer the fresh questions with care.
Password locked after too many tries
Use Forgot Password under the Login menu and a temporary password goes to your chosen contact method. If your number or email has changed since registration, support must update it before the reset can reach you.
Claim sits on submitted for weeks
A still claim usually waits in the assessment queue or needs another document. Check the claim for document requests. If nothing moves, ask support to trace it against your ID number.
Red period blocking your declarations
Open the oldest red period in View Returns and fix that filing first. Later periods stay blocked until the oldest problem clears. Submit it, watch it turn green, then work forward period by period.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I register on UIF uFiling?
Open the portal, accept the terms and capture your details exactly as they appear on your ID. Choose email or SMS, then use the activation link and temporary password sent to you to sign in for the first time.
Why does my claim status stay on submitted?
Submitted means the claim waits for assessment. A document request can also hold it in place. Sign in regularly, answer any request you find, and ask support to trace the claim if it never moves.
What does a red period in View Returns mean?
Red flags a problem period, such as a missing declaration. It blocks later filings for that employer account. Open it, fix the filing and submit before moving on.
Can employers declare and pay on the same account?
Yes. An employer account files monthly declarations for its workers and pays contributions from the same dashboard. Payment History shows each payment, and the status turns to PAID once the money clears.
Where do I find my Payment History?
Sign in and open Payment History from your account menu. Every contribution payment you made through the portal lists there with its status. A payment that cleared shows PAID next to it.
Do I need an account before I claim benefits?
Yes. Claims run through a registered, activated account with vetting completed. Register first, finish the password change and vetting, then start your claim.
