The South Carolina General Assembly first authorized pensions to Confederate veterans on 23 December 1887 for "veterans who were citizens of the state, had an income of less than $250 a year, and had a disability that left them unable to earn a living" were eligible. It also allowed widows of soldiers or sailors who had died in service and earned less than $250 per year to apply. A state board approved applications with verification by county officials and doctors. The pensioners received five dollars a month  during the first year.

In 1895, eligibility was expanded to include veterans and widows over the age of 60 who had incomes of less than $100 per year. In 1900, the income requirement was changed to less than $150 per year for disabled veterans and less than $100 for veterans over age 60. In 1919, eligibility was changed to include all veterans, and widows over the age of sixty who had married veterans before 1890.

In 1923, pensions were approved for African Americans who had served at least six months as cooks, servants, or attendants. In 1924, apparently because there were too many applications, the act was amended to eliminate laborers, teamsters, and non-South Carolinians.

The legislature dropped the age of eligibility for widows to 55 in 1920, to 50 in 1921, and to 45 in 1930. The state of South Carolina paid Confederate widow pensions until the last widow passed away  in 1990.
