Welcome and Introduction - South Dakota Benefit Information System (SDBIS)

 

Image of the South Dakota State Flag.  The flag displays the State Seal of South Dakota centered on a sky blue field. The seal is surrounded by the rays of a golden blazing sun . Encircling the seal and the sun are the words, 'South Dakota' at the top and 'The Mount Rushmore State', the official state nickname, below. The official seal is a picturesque representation of South Dakota's commerce, industry, and natural resources. The state's motto, 'Under God the People Rule', appears over an inner circle. Within the circle is a background of sky and hills. A river runs through agricultural and industrial land. Mining is represented with a smelting furnace. A steam ship plies the waters of the river. A farmer plows a field in front of a herd of cattle and a cornfield. The outer circle of the seal bears the words 'State of South Dakota', and 'Great Seal 1889'. The flag was adopted in 1992.
