Seodaemun-gu Government Emergency Disaster Relief Fund Consultation 'Cheokcheok'

District Operates 'Emergency Disaster Relief Fund Task Force and Call Center Dedicated Desk'... District Office Autonomy Administration Division and Each Community Service Center Strive for Rapid Payment

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Moon Seok-jin) has deployed staff from the Autonomous Administration Division and each neighborhood community center since the 4th of this month to operate a dedicated team and call center desk to ensure the 'Emergency Disaster Relief Fund' is distributed as quickly as possible.

The district is fully committed to all tasks related to the government disaster relief fund, including general consultations, appeal submissions, payment decisions, cash payments to vulnerable groups, guidance and payment for credit/debit card and Seoul Sarang gift certificate applications, prepaid card application reception and payment, and public promotion.

Unlike other local governments, the district is handling these tasks by utilizing existing staff and offices without hiring additional personnel or securing separate spaces.

Each of the 14 neighborhood community centers is responsible for operating neighborhood call centers, receiving appeals, accepting and distributing prepaid cards, and conducting outreach application receptions.

This approach not only reduces costs but also allows all disaster relief fund-related tasks to be handled in a one-stop manner, enabling more efficient and professional operations.

The relevant department made cash payments of the government emergency disaster relief fund to vulnerable groups on the 4th of this month, and online applications for credit and debit card recharges began on the 11th.

From the 18th, online applications for Seoul Sarang gift certificates, in-person prepaid card applications at neighborhood community centers, and outreach application receptions for residents with mobility difficulties will be conducted.

Moon Seok-jin, Mayor of Seodaemun-gu, stated, “We will strive for prompt payments and minimizing inconvenience to residents to fully realize the purpose of the emergency disaster relief fund, which is to stabilize citizens' lives and promote economic recovery.”
