Welcome to the SCSEA Website: 

In our 60 year history, the South Carolina State Employee’s Association has initiated, developed, fought for, advocated and lobbied for retirement, health and dental insurance, deferred compensation, sick  leave and annual leave.  Annually, through recommendations from our membership, we seek to improve these benefits and advocate for pay increases, cost-of-living adjustments, merit pay and to protect health care and retirement benefits. 

Through local chapter functions and our annual State House Visit, we come into contact  with our state representatives in the House and Senate.  These demonstrations of our numerical strength have yielded retirement benefits second to none, a TERI program, 28 year retirement, pay raises and cost-of-living increases.  None of these benefits came automatically.  It is through the efforts of a united front of state employees and retirees, advocating for ourselves and others, who are not members, that all of these benefits accrued to us. 

The Association is work, but not all work.  Membership has its privileges.  As you browse this web site, in addition to information, you will find discounts on items and venues which repay you for being a member and usually exceed your costs of membership. 

If you are not a member, please take to learn more about us and consider joining us to increase our strength.  If you are a member, please enjoy the discounts and thank you for all of your hard work on behalf of all employees and retirees. 

Joe Benton, President
