[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kang Sharon] Jinju City announced on the 22nd that it will start distributing the Gyeongsangnam-do disaster relief funds from the 23rd.

The payment amounts are 200,000 KRW for single-person households, 300,000 KRW for two-person households, 400,000 KRW for three-person households, and 500,000 KRW for households of four or more. The payment method is through the prepaid card 'Gyeongnam Sarang Card,' and individual notifications will be sent by mail without any separate procedures based on health insurance premium payment data.

High-net-worth individuals who are subject to comprehensive real estate tax with a combined property tax base of 900 million KRW or more, or those with financial income subject to comprehensive income tax of 20 million KRW or more, as well as those who have received temporary support for low-income groups, temporary child-rearing support, emergency welfare support, or COVID-19 living support, are excluded from this payment.

A city official said, "Since 9.2 billion KRW of city funds are being invested in this support, we hope it will help families struggling due to COVID-19 and revitalize the depressed local economy," and added, "When receiving the funds at community centers, a 5-day rotation system based on the last digit of the birth year will be implemented, similar to mask public sales, so we ask for citizens' cooperation."
