The official website for the Involuntary Loss of Employment Scheme (ILOE) - iloe.ae is now accepting submission claims, which means that workers in the UAE can start receiving their cash compensation from the UAE’s job loss scheme.
One of the main criteria for receiving the claims is to be subscribed to the scheme for 12 consecutive months and if you meet all the other conditions as well, you must submit a claim within 30 days following the termination of the employment relationship.
Note: According to MOHRE, workers must make sure their employer has cancelled their work permit before submitting the claim
How to submit ILOE claim online
Step 1 – Login to your ILOE account:
• Visit the ILOE website – iloe.ae and click on the ‘submit your claim’ button on the homepage. Next, click on the ‘Submit your claim’ option again on the login page.
• Select the ‘Login with One-Time Password (OTP)’ option, and enter your mobile number and Emirates ID. Click on ‘Request OTP’ button and enter the OTP sent to you via SMS.
Step 2 – Fill in the claim submission form:
• You will then be transferred to a personal dashboard, where you will be able to see your insurance policy details and the history of payment. It will also state if you paid the entire policy premium for the 12-month subscription period.
• Next, click on the ‘Claim Submission’ button on the menu, which is on the left of the screen.
• Next, confirm the employee name, policy duration and your mobile number. The number should be the one you used to register with ILOE. Click on ‘Proceed to your claim process’.
