Effective July 1, 2003, The South Carolina Retirement Systems Claims Procedure Act provides remedies available in a dispute or controversy between the Retirement Systems and a member or a designated beneficiary of a member of any of the retirement systems established in Title 9 of the SC Code of Laws. The new claims procedure sets a one-year statute of limitations, limits retroactive relief to one year, and prohibits class action lawsuits. It also provides an appeals process for members whose disability retirement applications or continuing disability reviews have been denied.
