Daejeon City "Application Location Varies by Government Disaster Relief Fund Receipt Method"... Offline Registration from the 18th

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Daejeon City emphasizes that the application location varies depending on the method of receiving the government emergency disaster relief fund, so it must be confirmed in advance.

The city announced on the 14th that starting from the 18th, it will accept online applications for credit and debit cards, as well as in-person applications at bank branches linked to credit and debit cards, and in-person applications for local love gift certificates (Ontong Daejeon Card) and prepaid cards.

First, credit and debit card charging can be applied for at commercial bank branches linked to individual cards from 9 a.m. on the first day of application. However, Samsung, Hyundai, and Lotte cards do not have linked commercial bank branches, so applications are only possible online.

Also, Ontong Daejeon Cards can be applied for in person at Hana Bank branches near the applicant's address, and prepaid cards can be applied for at the local administrative welfare center (Dong Administrative Welfare Center) of the applicant's jurisdiction. Applications are only accepted on weekdays, and for Daedeok e-Ro-um, separate inquiries must be made at the Daedeok District Office.

For credit/debit cards and gift certificates (Ontong Daejeon Card), the head of the household must apply in person, while prepaid cards can be applied for by the applicant or a proxy. However, offline applications must also follow the mask 5-day rotation system, meaning applications are accepted on specific weekdays corresponding to the last digit of the head of household’s birth year.

The charged amount received as emergency disaster relief funds can be used by automatically deducting it from the card billing amount at the time of payment.

The places where the funds can be used are the same for credit/debit cards, Ontong Daejeon Card, and prepaid cards, following the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s child care coupon standards, and the usage period is until August 31. Any unused balance after the expiration date will not be refunded.

A city official explained, "Local love gift certificates are only provided as local currency in the form of the Ontong Daejeon Card, not as paper certificates, and prepaid cards can only be charged onto prepaid cards already issued by the city."

In particular, they said, "Offline applications require caution as the application locations differ depending on the method of receiving the support funds, such as banks or Dong Administrative Welfare Centers. This is to avoid congestion and to quickly provide the support funds, so we ask for the cooperation of all citizens."
