NORTH CAROLINA UNDERSTANDS FEDERAL LAW--SOUTH CAROLINA DOES NOT

"New Hire Reporting Requirements" provides in relevant part:

(NC) House Bill 301 is a mandatory State adaptation of the Welfare Reform Reconciliation Act of 1996 (HR. 3734). This act created a federal new hire reporting system to help locate employees who are subject to a child support withholding orders, and requires adoption of uniform state laws regarding interstate enforcement of child support orders. This act requires States to establish a Directory of New Hires by October 1, 1997. This state directories (sic) will report new hire information they receive to a National Directory of New Hires (emphasis added).

Thirteen years after the federal government mandated adoption of uniform state laws regarding interstate enforcement of child support orders, South Carolina still does not require that employers report new hires.
