UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE DURING COVID-19
__________________________________________________
The Unemployment Insurance claims process is on online process.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO VISIT AN SC WORKS CENTER TO FILE FOR BENEFITS.
There is no “in-person” process.
While the SC Works centers have computer labs available for people
to use, out of respect for social distancing, many centers are
only offering phone services at this time – and those
phone services are for job-seeking assistance only.
Representatives with SC Works cannot view a claimant’s account.
Unemployment Insurance questions should be directed to 1-866-831-1724.
