[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Juhee] As the government has confirmed the provision of emergency disaster relief funds due to the COVID-19 pandemic, access to the welfare portal site 'Bokjiro,' where individuals can calculate their recognized income amount, is currently unstable.

On the 30th, the government decided to provide emergency disaster relief funds of 1 million KRW per household based on a four-person household for the bottom 70% income households, including the middle class. Single-person households will receive 400,000 KRW, two-person households 600,000 KRW, three-person households 800,000 KRW, and households of four or more will receive 1 million KRW each. The support funds will be provided as local gift certificates or electronic money.

Accordingly, from around 2 PM on the same day, the 'Bokjiro' homepage service has been unstable. Currently, the main page of the site displays a notice saying "Service access is on hold."

On 'Bokjiro,' users can check over 7,000 welfare services provided by central government ministries and local governments. In particular, it offers a simulation calculation function that allows users to check their recognized income amount (the sum of the income evaluation amount and the amount converted from property into income).

This access delay appears to have occurred as many citizens tried to access 'Bokjiro' to check their eligibility for the emergency disaster relief funds.
