South Carolina has a 7day waiting period before benefits can be paid. If you are out of work for more than 7 days, then wage replacement benefits will take effect. If you are out of work for more than 14 days, you will receive compensation for the first 7 days of work you missed.
Weekly compensation is generally equal to 662/3 percent of your average weekly wages. This amount is subject to the state minimum and maximum amounts set by law at the time of the work related injury. The time period covered is not to exceed 500 weeks from the date of injury.
