Register at the Labour Office or register and claim online.  If you are too ill to go to the Labour Office, a friend or family member can make the application but must take all the documents with them.

Documents you need to make the claim:

·   ID book

·   Copies of your last six pay slips

·   Form UI-2.8 for banking details

·   UI-19 – information supplied by your employer

·   A service certificate from the employer

·   Proof of banking details

·   A statement of amount paid to you during maternity leave

·   Form UI-2.7

·   Form UI-2.3 (application form)

·   Medical certificate from a doctor or birth certificate of the baby

·   Form UI-4 (follow up form)

·   A fully completed registration form

When you register for maternity benefits you will get FORM UF92.  This form must be filled in by a doctor.  You must then take the form back to the Labour Office.
