Based on the resident registration households as of March 29 and applying the concept of health insurance dependents, 400,000 KRW will be paid to single-person households, 600,000 KRW to two-person households, 800,000 KRW to three-person households, and 1,000,000 KRW to households of four or more. Unapplied funds will be automatically donated.

Household members and support amounts can be checked by the head of the household at emergencydisasterfund.kr, and to ensure smooth site operation, a five-day rotation system is applied. People whose birth year ends with 1 or 6 can check on Monday, 2 or 7 on Tuesday, 3 or 8 on Wednesday, 4 or 9 on Thursday, and 5 or 0 on Friday. Anyone can check on weekends.

A county official stated, “There is high interest among residents regarding the emergency disaster relief fund announced through various media, and we will promptly distribute the funds to every single person without exception by August 31st, the deadline for use.”

County Governor Kim Cheol-woo expressed his intention to donate the entire amount of his emergency disaster relief fund, and senior officials also decided to donate part of their amounts.
