Gwangju City Hall

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] The application for the government emergency disaster relief fund, which is provided to all citizens to overcome the COVID-19 crisis, will close on the 24th.

If you do not apply by the deadline, the amount will be considered donated according to the "Special Act on the Collection and Use of Emergency Disaster Donations."

Meanwhile, the emergency disaster relief funds provided through credit card points or the Gwangju Sangsaeng Card must be used by the 31st. Any remaining balance not used by that date will be reclaimed by the state and local governments.

According to Gwangju City on the 12th, as of the 11th, the government emergency disaster relief funds paid by the city amounted to 401.89 billion won for 599,425 households, which is 97.4% of the total 615,188 households, with 15,763 households still not having applied.

With less than half a month left until the application deadline, Gwangju City plans to carefully review to ensure that no citizens miss out on receiving the emergency disaster relief funds.

They are identifying households that have not applied in each neighborhood to encourage applications, and actively supporting "visiting applications" for residents who do not know how to apply or have mobility difficulties, requesting cooperation from autonomous districts so that as many citizens as possible can benefit from the emergency disaster relief funds.

Ryu Mi-su, head of the city's Social Welfare Division, said, "Households that have not yet applied for the government emergency disaster relief funds should apply within the deadline, and we hope that the received funds will be fully spent by the end of August to help not only households but also to revive local small businesses."
