To understand this, we first need to define what UIF TERS is. UIF refers to the Unemployment Insurance Fund and TERS refers to the temporary employer/employee relief schemes introduced during the Covid-19 period to help people and businesses affected by lockdowns. Only those whose employer has registered for unemployment insurance will be helped or assisted. Also, note that UIF TERS does not rely on the standards of the UIF credit system. This means that any such relief will have no impact on your current balance. Therefore, it is important to know how to check the UIF TERS payment status.
