As you may know, so many payments run through the banking platform from UIF TERS, and as part of the measures to handle wrong transactions, certain criteria must be met. 

This article will explore more about UIF TERS “no declarations found” error code, what to do about these errors and other related issues. 

What does UIF TERS ‘No Declarations Found’ Error Codes mean

The UIF TERS has been a lifeline for many people in South Africa, providing financial support for those who were adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

However, there have been several reports trying to navigate the UIF system but keeping across codes like “No declarations found”.

These error codes can be very disappointing, knowing your needs have become critical and awaiting to get some short-term relief from UIF. Deciphering the error code you may encounter can help you understand what it means and your next step.

As we continue to provide insight into the UIF TERS, we will explain what the “No Declarations Found” error code means. 

Having this code clearly means that your records can not be found on the UIF TERS system. When it comes to UIF TERS payments or benefits, declarations play a major role in determining those who are eligible for them. It also looks at how much one should earn from it. In order to receive any benefit, your details must be captured in the UIF TERS system.

Secondly, the error code that stated “No declarations found” could mean there was some system breakdown during the submission of the declarations. 

In another sense, the system can detect a delay and can easily reject your submission. When this happens, it is highly possible to encounter this error code. 

What To Do About UIF TERS ‘No Declarations Found’ Error Codes

  The UIF TERs system has been designed in an automated form and also timed to reject any late submissions. Since UIF considers the lives of many South Africans, it provides another chance for individuals who may encounter error codes to resolve them. 

If you encounter a “No declaration found” error code, you can reach out to your employer to submit a new declaration form to UIF to capture your details.

Secondly, you can visit the labour center within your community to manually submit a declaration form. The officer will collect, access, and add your details to the UIF TERS system. 

Why does my UIF status say no employee found?

The UIF is much more concerned about employees since they are a major part of the employment pool that was affected by the pandemic. 

And as part of the policies of UIF, the welfare of employees is prioritized in their dealings. If you find out that your UIF status reads “no employee found” it clearly means your employer has not submitted your application on your behalf. When this happens, there are no employee records coming from the employer on your behalf. Employers are encouraged to submit all applications of their employees in order for the system to be well-synced. 

Also, it could mean that, although your employer has submitted the application, UIF has not yet received and processed the details. 

The right document format is to have the employee application uploaded in the form of a CSV file. Any wrong form could delay your input and could affect your UIF status. 

How do I claim UIF without documents?

It can be challenging to claim UIF without documents, but not entirely impossible. When you make a move to claim UIF without having any documents, the first institution is to contact the labour center. 

Alerting the labour center will pull up your file from their system to confirm if you have been registered for UIF in the first place.

Once your details are set up and complete, you can talk to the staff to assist you in making the claims on your behalf. All you need is your UIF reference number, employer details, and your personal details. The officer in charge will retrieve all records and process your details for UIF claims. 

What are declarations in UIF?

 Declarations in UIF simply cover the details of the employee and the firm. For one to be registered and signed up in the UIF system, their details must be declared to the Department of Labour. These details submitted to UIF are considered declarations.

The UIF declaration includes personal information like name, address, role, payslip, and others.
