SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED

BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

R.47-21 provides information and instructions on filing an initial claim for benefits and continuous claims. The Department proposes updating this regulation to be consistent with current practices and procedures and with upgrades in the Department's technology. The proposed amendments remove references to local, physical offices and incorporate modern usage of the Department's online benefits system and the SC Works Online Services (SCWOS) system. The amendment also clarifies the procedural differences and claimant obligations when a job attached claim is filed by an employer compared to an individual claimant. Finally, the amendment seeks to resolve questions about a claim's effective date when it is filed on a Sunday. The Notice of Drafting was published in the State Register on August 26, 2022.
