In 2003 there was some confusion created by a change in the Main Act, and they were excluded, but the Contributions Act was not amended.
So the anomaly was created in that state old age pensioners were required to pay UIF contributions if they were employed, but they could not claim benefits if they lost that employment.
That amendment was withdrawn in 2006, and all persons employed (except for the specific exclusions) are subject to the payment of contributions and are also entitled to benefits, if they lose their jobs involuntarily (provided they are capable of and available for work). Age is immaterial, as is the receipt of any form of pension.
