Yongin City Hall

[Asia Economy (Yongin) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province will advance the on-site issuance of disaster basic income prepaid cards for elderly people with mobility difficulties and those with severe disabilities.

This measure is to ensure that the elderly and disabled do not miss the opportunity to use the prepaid cards by receiving them late.

Yongin City plans to expedite the issuance of prepaid cards at each eup, myeon, and dong office ahead of the originally scheduled date set by Gyeonggi Province, which is the 11th of next month. Some dong areas have already started issuing prepaid cards.

In Mabuk-dong, Giheung-gu, from the 20th to the 29th, prepaid cards were issued to 1,149 elderly people by visiting 21 senior centers within the district.

Additionally, Yeongdeok 2-dong is currently providing on-site issuance services targeting Samsung Noble County, a nursing facility in the area. Dongbaek 3-dong is offering visiting issuance services for Spring County Xi, a senior welfare housing complex, as well as facilities for the disabled and the elderly.

In Pungdeokcheon 1-dong, Suji-gu, prepaid cards were issued to 130 people by visiting Gwanggyosan I-Park, a senior welfare housing complex, over two days from the 27th to the 28th.

A city official stated, "We will advance the on-site issuance service of prepaid cards at each eup, myeon, and dong to ensure that socially vulnerable groups with mobility difficulties can use the disaster basic income without inconvenience."

The city is accepting online applications for the disaster basic income until the 30th, and on-site applications through local administrative welfare centers and NongHyup will continue until July 31.
