I am emailing you because I could not collect UIF , I was and am unemployed since 2012, now a pensioner, for a long time I was one of those (POP) because it was a CCMA case I had to starve, had no help, is this why , the fund have surplus funds, although I contributed, I could not claim or get a job. I am sure there is many people out there like me. Yes we may gave a shelter over our head, but it does not mean, we are surviving.
