The Unemployment Insurance Fund has welcomed the arrest of 16 suspects accused of swindling R2.2 million from the COVID-19 TERS scheme.

The UIF’s Commissioner Teboho Maruping says, “It’s a combination of both the employers and employees. We are expecting more arrests. All of them will be facing charges of fraud. We are going to be freezing all their accounts.”

If there are any accounts in their names, then we are going to be freezing their accounts and attaching their assets. If we are unable to recover from those funds, then they will go to prison and they will have to make arrangements to pay us back for the money.”In June this year, the UIF said R3.4-billion was voluntarily returned by employers who benefited from the COVID-19 Temporary Employer-Employee Relief Scheme .

“We discovered that there were claims that were made in some cases where employers had inflated the salaries that they said their employees were earning for the three months prior to COVID-19. Some had claimed for employees that they had already retrenched before COVID-19. For some it was a pure matter of errors,” said Buthelezi.
