  • 1.  SC DEW Fraud Issues

    There has been a significant increase in fraudulent unemployment filings in SC.  Yesterday, while reviewing our unemployment records, our HR department saw that our executive safety director and I filed for unemployment benefits over the weekend.  Since we are both still employed it didn't take long to reach the conclusion that someone had illegally made these filing.  Eldeco has reported these filings as fraud and spoken to SC DEW - during the conversation we were told that SC DEW has seen a lot of this recently.  We have requested the actual filings, but have not received them yet.  Definitely worth reviewing your records on SC DEW website to protect your company and your employees.
