Seoul City Extends Emergency Disaster Relief Fund Seoul Sarang Gift Certificate Application Deadline by One Week to the 18th

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyo-jin] The Seoul Metropolitan Government decided to start accepting applications for the government emergency disaster relief fund in the form of Seoul Love Gift Certificates from the 11th but postponed it just before the scheduled date. This raises concerns about confusion among citizens who intended to apply for the relief fund using the Seoul Love Gift Certificate method.

On the 10th at around 8:12 PM, Seoul City sent a notice titled "Seoul Emergency Disaster Relief Fund Seoul Love Gift Certificate Application Postponed by One Week (Originally 5.11~ → 5.18~)" to reporters, informing them of the postponement.

Seoul City had planned to start accepting applications for the emergency disaster relief fund jointly provided by the government and local governments in the form of Seoul Love Gift Certificates from the 11th, and this was also announced in a press release at 11:15 AM on the 10th, the day before the scheduled date.

Seoul City explained, "At the request of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, the government department in charge of the emergency disaster relief fund, to prevent system overload during the initial online application phase, the timing was adjusted to start accepting Seoul Love Gift Certificate applications from May 18, in line with other local governments."

Accordingly, Seoul citizens who wish to apply for the government emergency disaster relief fund from the 11th must choose to receive the payment via credit or debit card, and those who want to receive it through Seoul Love Gift Certificates must wait until the 18th to apply.
