WHY IS THERE NO SC STATUTE REQUIRING MANDATORY REPORTING OF NEW HIRES?
We had high hopes for the new Director of the South Carolina Department of Social Services. She is no home-grown inbred, content to worship at the alter of the STATUS QUO because "that is the way things have always been done." Ms. Koller, a well-educated attorney and accomplished public servant, was intimately acquainted with the federal mandates imposed by the 1996 Welfare Reform Act regarding New Hire Reporting before she ever left Hawaii. Yet, a year later, South Carolina still bears the unwanted distinction of being the only State that is not in compliance with the federal mandate to establish a New Hire Directory, just as it is the only state that has no computerized child support tracking and collection system.
Why is this so? "Inquring minds want to know."
