For your information

Proof of Residency

In accordance with SC Law we must complete a "Proof of Residency" verification if you are assigned to work at a GHS long-term care facility, Home Health department or Subacute Unit; both a state background check and a federal criminal background check (fingerprinting) shall be required if the applicant is unable to verify S.C. residency or residency in another state for twelve (12) consecutive months prior to the employment application date.  Once the state criminal background has been completed and the fingerprinting initiated, the applicant is eligible for employment, pending the results of the federal criminal records check.

• To determine if an applicant must have both types of background checks, he/she must first provide GHS with proof of residency to verify that he/she has been either a resident in S.C. for the past 12 months or in his/her resident state for the past twelve months.  The 12 month period is determined from date of the employment application.  The applicant can provide verification of residency through:

1. A driver’s license or identification card issued by the state;
2. Rent, mortgage or utility receipts in the applicant’s name for a home within SC or his/her resident state.
3. Pay stubs in the applicant’s name from a business located in S.C. or his/her resident state.
4. Bank records in the applicant’s name showing a deposit or checking account held in S.C. branch office of a bank or in his/her resident state;
5. Income tax return: or
6. Voter’s registration card.

If the applicant can prove S.C. residency or his/her resident state, then only a state criminal background check is required.”
