Upon request therefor the commission shall furnish to any agency of the United States charged with the administration of public works or assistance through public employment, and may furnish to any state agency similarly charged, the name, address, ordinary occupation, and employment status of each recipient of benefits and such recipient's rights to further benefits under Chapters 27 through 41 of this title.

(a) individuals who are receiving, have received, or have applied for unemployment insurance;
(b) the amount of benefits being received;
(c) the current home address of such individuals; and
(d) whether any offer of work has been refused and, if so, a description of the job and the terms, conditions, and rate of pay therefor for the job.
(3) The State Employment Office shall furnish upon request of the State Workers' Compensation Fund the name of the employer and the dates of employment of any person who was employed during any period in which the person is or was receiving temporary total benefit payments from the State Fund.
(4) The requesting agency shall be responsible for reimbursing the South Carolina Employment Security Commission for actual costs incurred in supplying such information under this section."
