SIDES E-Response Update
What’s coming with the new system:
- Fraud indicators alerting the state that immediate action is needed.

DEW offices and SC Works centers will be closed on Monday, January 1, 2024, in observance of the New Year holiday and reopen on Tuesday, January 2. We will be happy to serve you then.
Unemployment Insurance Claimants:
Due to the New Year’s Day holiday closures, claims for the week ending December 30th will be processed on January 2, 2024, and the payments for that claim week will be released in the following one to two business days. Please log in to your Claimant Self-Service (MyBenefits) Portal for an up-to-date claim and payment status.
The online work search requirement is active. Claimants are required to complete two weekly job searches to remain eligible for Unemployment Insurance benefits.
Finding the right job can take some time. Completing a work search each week by viewing two available job postings in SCWOS is a great way to see what’s available in the job market and who’s hiring.
Plus, the work search process is very easy. Just make it part of your weekly habit when you certify and you can continue to receive benefits. The technology requirements are the same and both can be done on a computer or with the free smartphone apps on your phone.
PDF and video tutorials are available under “How Do I Do the Work Search? Where Can I Get Help?”
- What is a work search?
- Work search is a South Carolina requirement for individuals who are receiving Unemployment Insurance (UI). It is the simple act of reading two job posts each week while logged into their personal SC Works Online Services (SCWOS) account.
- When do I have to start doing the work search?
- The work search requirement was turned back on April 18, 2021. Claimants have from Sunday to Saturday each week to log in to their SCWOS account and conduct two work searches. Every week that a person claims UI benefits, they will need to do the two work searches. If someone certifies their week (confirms that they are still unemployed), but does not complete the work search requirement, it could affect their eligibility and their benefit payments could stop.
How do I do the work search? Where can I get help?
To continue receiving benefits, it’s easy — two quick steps to remain eligible for UI benefits:
1. Complete two work searches in your SC Works Online Services (SCWOS) account on a computer or through the SCWOS app, which can be found by searching SC Works Mobile on your phone.
2. Certify your claim in the MyBenefits portal or on the SC DEW app, which can be found by searching SC DEW in the iOS or Android app store on your smartphone.
TIP! You can check your SCWOS account and your MyBenefits account (the next day) to make sure the work searches registered and you are good to go.
