Can I request information on behalf of a friend/family member for unclaimed benefits?
Yes you can. The datafactory search request redirects to this page to allow you to search for any unclaimed benefits. There are FICA type information requests that need to be followed and provided in order to receive the information, but if you have an elderly family member who is unable to access the internet or who is unable to make the enquiries for whatever reason, it is still possble to find out if there are any benefits owing to them.
Be mindful of the fact that fraud could fairly easily be perpetrated in these situations so there will be a lengthy vetting process to prove that you are in fact a family member and you will need to provide documentart proof of this.
Like most things involving pension fund savings or any savings really, the process to get access in the event of the member not be able to, are pretty stringent.

Pension fund Industry involvement in tracking down beneficiaries
To be perfectly honest, and this is my own personal opinion, I think it is absolutely shocking how little seems to be done by the industry to track down these beneficiaries. The brokers and investment companies are all to eager to take in the remiums while the workers are contributing but as soon as they stop contributing and need a payout, the brokers & employers fall silent.
Brokers and employers who signed up the members should be tasked with finding the beneficiaries and if they do not, they should be fined. Again this is my personal opinion and not to be misunderstood as any position taken by the company or it’s directors.

Unclaimed benefits have an active Facebook page with over 6000 likes and from what we can see some very positive feedback.
Hellopeter.com has a number of dissatisfied reports and from what I could see 1 positive report.
From our surface investigations, all three of these operations are legitimate with their biggest downfall being poor communication to some of their customers or potential customers.
The registration process to see if you have any unclaimed benefits is very quick and can be done in around 2-3 minutes.
If these companies are able to efficiently track down those elgible for unclaimed benefits then we applaud them for helping to distribute some of the R Billions that are sitting in unclaimed benefits where the beneficiaries have not been found.
Our advice: Register with them at www.unclaimedbenefits.co.za and see what the outcome is. Please respond to this post with your experiences of dealing with and of these companies, Unclaimedbenefits.co.za , datafactory.co.za
