Operation Check Reduction – Resources for State Agencies

Please note: Due to the U.S. Postal Service’s unprecedented volume increases, mail sent to and from our office may be delayed, including forms, documentation and checks.

The State of South Carolina has launched Operation Check Reduction, ending the use of paper checks, allowing recipients to receive funds faster and more securely while saving the State money.
