Suncheon City Provides Additional Suncheon Love Gift Certificates to Senior Job Participants
If You Agree to Receive 30% of Public Service Participation Fees as Gift Certificates, an Additional 22% Will Be Paid
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City is promoting a policy that allows elderly participants in public interest activities to receive part of their activity fees in Suncheon Love Gift Certificates, which can increase their spending power and help revitalize the local economy, which has been stagnant due to the impact of COVID-19. If they agree to receive part of their activity fees in gift certificates, they can receive an additional bonus.
This policy allows individuals to receive benefits for up to 4 months. However, they must agree to receive 30% of their activity fees, which are currently paid in cash via bank transfer, in gift certificates. Upon agreement, an additional 22% of the activity fees will be paid in gift certificates.
For example, if participant A worked full attendance for a month and received 270,000 KRW in cash, but chooses to receive 81,000 KRW (30% of the activity fees) in gift certificates, the city will additionally provide 59,000 KRW, which is 22% of the total activity fees, in gift certificates. Through this policy, A will receive 189,000 KRW in cash and 140,000 KRW in gift certificates, totaling 329,000 KRW.
Considering that public interest activities could not be participated in during March and April due to COVID-19, the city is offering an opportunity to extend activities by 10 hours each month starting in May to help stabilize participants' livelihoods.
