The Unemployment Insurance Amendment Act 29 of 1988 intends:
- to amend the Unemployment Insurance Act, 1966 [repealed in 2002], so as
- to provide that the Minister of Manpower may delegate the power to assign an officer of his Department as secretary to the Unemployment Insurance Board, to an officer in the Department;
- to compel an unemployed contributor to register as unemployed, before an application for unemployment benefits can be submitted by him;
- to extend the period within which an unemployed contributor who has applied for benefits and thereafter moves to the area of jurisdiction of another claims officer, should henceforth submit a further application to the latter claims officer;
- to delete the requirement that a contributor will in certain cases not be entitled to unemployment benefits within six weeks after he became unemployed;
- to provide that application for illness benefits forms may also be completed and signed by chiropractors and homeopaths; and
- to alter the qualifying period applicable to maternity benefits in order to bring about uniformity with the other types of benefits; and
- to provide for matters connected therewith.
