94.4% of Households with Four or More Members in Gyeonggi-do Apply for 'Disaster Basic Income'

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] It has been revealed that among households with four or more members in Gyeonggi Province, 94.4% have applied for the disaster basic income for at least one member.

According to an analysis of data from the 'Gyeonggi Province Disaster Basic Income Application Website' as of 2 p.m. on the 27th, out of 1,351,595 households with four or more members in the province, 1,275,682 households had at least one member apply for the disaster basic income.

The province explained that the 75,913 households that have not yet applied can do so from the 11th of next month until July 31.

Looking at the number of individual applications rather than households, as of midnight on the 27th, the total number of applicants for the Gyeonggi Province disaster basic income was estimated at 9,087,017, with 6,837,728 (75.2%) applying online and 2,249,289 (24.8%) applying in person.

The total application rate is 68.5%, and the total amount applied for, including city and county disaster basic income, is 1.4253 trillion won.

Meanwhile, the province has changed its guidelines to allow reissuance in case of loss of the disaster basic income prepaid card.

A registered card links the user's personal information to an anonymous prepaid card, and after reporting the loss, the cardholder can visit NongHyup Bank to get a reissue. To register, one must bring an ID and the prepaid card to NongHyup Bank or complete identity verification on the NH Card website (Card > Gift Card > Register/Change).

If a registered card is lost, one can report it by ▲visiting NongHyup Bank (local agricultural cooperatives are not available) ▲calling the customer center ARS 1644-4000 ▲or reporting via the NH Card website or app.

If an unregistered prepaid card is lost, the cardholder must bring an ID to NongHyup Bank to register the card, then report the loss and get a reissue. However, this is only possible if the lost prepaid card’s number and CVC number are known, so caution is advised.

Damaged cards can also be reissued at the issuing city or county NongHyup Bank. In this case, the damaged card and ID must be brought.

A provincial official said, "We have revised the operational guidelines to prevent the loss of disaster basic income due to lost prepaid cards," and added, "It is recommended to register personal information with the card company immediately after receiving the prepaid card so that reissuance is possible even if lost."
