Frequently asked questions

The South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce (DEW) administers unemployment insurance through the MyBenefits portal at scuihub.dew.sc.gov and its claimant line at 1-866-831-1724.

The death should be reported to DEW so payments stop. Any payment issued for weeks after the date of death must be returned, and the Department determines whether a final payment is owed for eligible weeks before death.

Call the DEW claimant line at 1-866-831-1724 (Relay 711). DEW does not publish a dedicated online form for reporting a claimant's death; the call center handles death notifications and can advise on any final payment owed for eligible weeks before death.
