AN ACT TO AMEND SECTION 41-27-370, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE DEFINITION OF "UNEMPLOYED" FOR PURPOSES OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA EMPLOYMENT SECURITY LAW AND THE REDUCTION OF UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS TO REFLECT PENSIONS AND OTHER PAYMENTS ATTRIBUTABLE TO WORK, SO AS TO ELIMINATE ANY REDUCTION IN UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS OF A BENEFICIARY ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE RECEIPT OF SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS.

Social Security benefits not considered

SECTION 1. Section 41-27-370(2) of the 1976 Code is amended by adding a paragraph at the end to read:

"For purposes of this subsection, social security benefits are not considered a governmental or other pension, retirement or retired pay, annuity, or other similar periodic payment attributable to the beneficiary's employment. As a result, the offset of social security will be reduced from 50% to 0% based on the fact that individuals are required to contribute to social security."

Ratified the 8th day of June, 2000.
