Seongnam City to Distribute 'Government Disaster Relief Funds' to 33,000 Households

[Asia Economy (Seongnam) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province paid the government's emergency disaster relief funds to vulnerable groups on the 4th.

Seongnam City announced on the 6th that it had paid the government's emergency disaster relief funds to all eligible households except for some households that were not paid due to account errors among 33,000 households receiving basic livelihood security benefits, basic pensions, and disability pensions. The city plans to complete payments to the unpaid households by the 8th.

The city will provide the funds to these accounts without a separate application.

The support amounts are 935,000 KRW for households of four or more, 748,000 KRW for three-person households, 561,000 KRW for two-person households, and 374,000 KRW for single-person households.

Thus, a family of four residing in Seongnam will receive a total of 1,735,000 KRW, combining the already paid Seongnam-type Disaster Solidarity Safety Fund of 400,000 KRW, Gyeonggi Province Disaster Basic Income of 400,000 KRW, and the government emergency disaster relief fund of 935,000 KRW paid this time.

This means they receive 735,000 KRW more than the government emergency disaster relief fund alone.

To ensure prompt payment, the city formed an emergency disaster relief fund task force (TF) led by the vice mayor and decided to cover the required budget by allocating a pre-established budget.

Seongnam Mayor Eun Su-mi said, "Seongnam will do its utmost to revive the local economy through swift emergency disaster relief fund support," adding, "We will continue steady support under the goal that not a single person in Seongnam is isolated or excluded."

General households can apply online or in person through credit card company websites starting from the 11th.
