In 2023, a proposed bill in the South Carolina legislature seeks to change state law to extend workers’ compensation benefits to firefighters and first responders diagnosed with PTSD. Currently, firefighters in South Carolina must demonstrate that their mental health condition stems from extraordinary stress or unusual work conditions in order to receive workers’ compensation for PTSD or accompany a physical injury. SC FAST offers clinical support for firefighters’ mental well-being, however, the help is limited, and coverage is capped at $15,000.
