Yeonggwang-gun, Jeonnam's Only 'Emergency Policy Allowance' Yeonggwang Love Card Distributed in Bulk View original image


[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeon Seong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim Junsung) announced on the 23rd that it will collectively provide 11 billion won in emergency policy allowances to overcome the COVID-19 crisis, including farmers and fishermen's public interest allowances, small business owners' public utility fees, and Jeonnam-type emergency living expenses, through the Yeonggwang Love Card.


The county is the only one in Jeonnam Province to provide emergency allowances to overcome the COVID-19 crisis in the form of rechargeable prepaid cards.


This is to prevent the recent issue of 'discount sales of gift certificates' related to policy allowances and to reduce issuance costs caused by the mass issuance of paper gift certificates.


The policy allowance-type Yeonggwang Love Card overcomes the inconvenience of paper gift certificates that can only be used at affiliated stores and can be used at most stores within the jurisdiction that have IC card terminals.


Even after the policy allowance is exhausted, users can conveniently recharge the card with their desired amount and receive 5-10% incentives.



Governor Kim Junsung said, "To stabilize the household economy of residents suffering from COVID-19, we are encouraging the county and town offices to provide allowances as soon as applications are received," and added, "By providing emergency living expenses through the Yeonggwang Love Card, we plan to eliminate the inconvenience of using gift certificates so that residents can use them more conveniently."
