[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] Starting today (the 13th), emergency disaster relief funds can be used via card, and the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service is currently accepting applications for the 'Emergency Disaster Donation Fund.'

The Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service began accepting applications for donations from emergency disaster relief funds on the 11th. Citizens who wish to donate after receiving the emergency disaster relief funds can do so through the Service.

Citizens who wish to donate can visit the Service's website and apply by entering their personal information on the dedicated site linked through the popup window.

At the time of application, the donor is sent an SMS with a virtual account number from the designated bank (Woori or Kookmin), and the donation is completed once the donor deposits the funds into the provided account.

Donations of emergency disaster relief funds are possible even if the donor does not express their intention to donate when applying for the funds through card companies or local governments.

If the funds are donated, donors can receive a tax credit according to the Income Tax Act.

The donated funds are incorporated into the Employment Insurance Fund and used to maintain employment and create jobs for those struggling due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

For inquiries related to the emergency disaster donation fund, please contact the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service website or the dedicated information center at 1644-0074.

Meanwhile, separate from the emergency disaster relief funds, those who wish to make voluntary donations can also apply to the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service designated donation fund. This fund will primarily be used as a resource for unemployment countermeasure projects for the unemployed, special-type workers, and self-employed individuals.
