January 31, 2020 Living Security Committee Meeting Held in Small Conference Room on 4th Floor of Jungnang-gu Office...Enhancing Transparency in Project Security and Building a Robust Social Safety Net through Activation of Living Security Committee

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) held the 1st Living Security Committee meeting of 2020 on January 31st in the small conference room on the 4th floor of Jungnang-gu Office, composed of Living Security Committee members and related public officials.

On this day, the committee reviewed public support eligibility for residents who fall into welfare blind spots due to not meeting legal criteria such as exceeding the support obligor standards or personal asset standards.

Other major agenda items included ▲Selection of Basic Livelihood Security Recipients and Seoul-type Basic Livelihood Security Recipients ▲Approval of extension of medical benefit days and designation of preferred hospitals and clinics ▲Approval of the 2020 self-support support plan.

The district plans to hold meetings at least once a month and continuously strive to reduce to zero the number of beneficiaries who do not meet legal criteria but are struggling with livelihood difficulties.

Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi said, “We feel deeply regretful as there have been many unfortunate cases recently where people have died due to ongoing financial hardship. Jungnang-gu will do its best to activate the Living Security Committee to assist residents who are struggling in real life even if they exceed legal criteria, to prevent such incidents from occurring, and to create a ‘warmer welfare Jungnang together.’”
