"Check All Government Subsidies I Can Receive at Once on Government24"

Ministry of the Interior and Safety Launches Customized National Subsidy Service Project

[Asia Economy Reporter Jo In-kyung] A tentative project called the "National Subsidy Customized Service Construction Project," which allows users to check and apply for government subsidy information on 'Government24,' is set to begin.

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced on the 27th that it will launch the National Subsidy Customized Service Construction Project, a system that, with prior consent from citizens registered as members on Government24, utilizes administrative information held by the government to find and notify individuals of the subsidies they are eligible to receive.

To this end, the government will establish registration standards and procedures for public services executed through central ministries, local governments, and public institutions, and build an integrated management system for the national subsidy service list to systematically manage them. Then, by linking qualifications and benefit information held by administrative agencies, such as individual and household characteristics and whether they are basic livelihood security recipients or farmers and fishermen, personalized guidance will be provided.

Once the system is in place, it is expected to eliminate the inconvenience for citizens who previously had to visit various websites or community centers to find information on various national subsidies.

In the first year of the third phase of the project, the focus will be on providing guidance primarily on cash, in-kind, vouchers, and services directly delivered to individuals and households from national treasury subsidies. The Ministry of Economy and Finance, Ministry of Health and Welfare, Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, Ministry of Employment and Labor, and other ministries will cooperate in the construction project. The Ministry of the Interior and Safety plans to open a pilot service by the end of the year and enable all citizens to use the service by the first half of next year.

Additionally, to ensure that information-disadvantaged groups who find internet searches and checks difficult can use the customized service without difficulty, guidance through visits to community centers and other locations will also be provided.

Lee Jae-young, Director of Government Innovation Organization at the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, stated, "We plan to significantly improve the service delivery method so that socially vulnerable groups do not miss out on government benefits due to lack of awareness," adding, "We will strive to make it easier and more convenient for citizens to receive benefits."
