S.C. Code Ann. § 41-29-170 – Permitted disclosure of information

(A) A claimant or a claimant's legal representative must be supplied with information from the records, to the extent necessary for the proper presentation of the claim in any proceeding under Chapters 27 through 41 subject to restrictions the commission may by regulation prescribe. This information may be made available to any agency of this or any other state or any federal agency charged with the administration of a public assistance or state or national new hire directory or an unemployment compensation law or the maintenance of a system of public employment offices, and information obtained in connection with applications for placements may be made available to persons or agencies for purposes appropriate to the operation of a public employment service. Upon request the commission shall furnish to an agency of the United States charged with the administration of public works or assistance through public employment and may furnish to a state agency similarly charged the name, address, ordinary occupation, and employment status of each recipient of benefits and the recipient's rights to further benefits under Chapters 27 through 41.
(B) The State Employment Office shall furnish, upon request of a public agency administering the temporary assistance to needy families (TANF) and child support programs, a state agency administering food stamp coupons, the state or federal agency administering the new hire directory, or any public housing authority, any information in its possession relating to:
1. (1) individuals who are receiving, have received, or have applied for unemployment insurance;
2. (2) the amount of benefits being received;
3. (3) the current home address of these individuals;
4. (4) whether any offer of work has been refused and, if so, a description of the job and the terms, conditions, and rate of pay;
5. (5) in the case of requests from a public housing authority, a listing of the current employer and previous employers for the available preceding six calendar quarters;
6. (6) in the case of requests from the state or federal agency which issues food stamp coupons or the new hire directory, a listing of the current employer and address and any previous employers and their addresses, including wage information, for the available preceding six calendar quarters.
  The requesting agency is responsible for reimbursing the South Carolina Employment Security Commission for actual costs incurred in supplying the information. This information must be provided in the most useful and economical format possible.
