Error Creates Duplicate UI Checks

A number of unemployment checks were duplicated in error over the weekend, the S.C. Employment Security Commission announced today.

Approximately 1,250 checks, dated Sunday, July 19, were printed twice, and mailed to claimants.

Claimants who receive two checks should cash only one of them. The other check should be returned to their local S.C. Employment Security Commission Workforce Center.

If both checks are cashed, the claimant will be liable for the excess payment.

All claimants who received duplicate checks will be contacted either by phone or mail.

For any questions, contact 803-737-3071.
