The whole question
My wife passed in 2018. How can I claim UIF from her passing?
The long answer
Thank you for your email asking how to claim death benefits from UIF for your wife who passed away in 2018.
Unfortunately, as you have to claim death benefits within six months of the person’s death according to the Unemployment Insurance Act, it is too late to make a claim now.
