SC issues duplicate unemployment checks - again

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - An extra unemployment check is yet again
in the mail for some South Carolina residents.

WIS-TV in Columbia reports Tuesday that a programming error
caused the state Employment Security Commission to send out about
150 duplicate unemployment checks.

Officials say the checks went out last week. Anyone who gets two
unemployment checks with the same date should cash one and return
the other to their local unemployment office.

The commission says anyone who cashes the duplicates as well as
the original checks will be responsible for reimbursing the extra
money.

It's the second time this has happened in several months. In
July, the Employment Security Commission said it sent two
unemployment checks to about 1,250 people out of work.
