Residents of South Carolina who have not yet received a one-time payment of $800 may still be eligible for the rebate, but the deadline is approaching. The state’s Department of Revenue announced that the first round of rebates to eligible taxpayers has already been finished.
Those who filed their 2021 SC Individual Income Tax return by October 17, 2020, should have already received their rebate payments in the spring. The rebates were distributed through either direct deposits or mailed paper checks. However, for those who did not file by that date, there is still a chance to receive the payment through a second round in March.

However, those who have not filed their income tax return and do not have an individual income tax liability for 2021 are not eligible for the rebate.
The rebates will be distributed through either direct deposits or mailed paper checks. It is important to note that residents who have already received the payment in the spring are not eligible for a second payment.
