Chungnam, Additional Applications for 'Annual 800,000 Won' Farmer and Fisherman Allowance

[Asia Economy (Naepo) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Chungnam Province will accept additional applications for this year's 'Farmer and Fisherman Allowance' for local agricultural, forestry, and fishery workers.

According to the province on the 19th, additional applications for the Farmer and Fisherman Allowance are possible until the 4th of next month, targeting those who were omitted from the allowance payment and reflecting new factors due to the expansion of the project scope and targets.

For example, this project guideline includes livestock farmers and agricultural, forestry, and fishery workers cultivating land in cities/counties such as Cheonan, Nonsan, Gongju, and Buyeo, who were excluded from the first half application.

Applicants must have had an address in Chungnam before January 1 of last year and maintained it until the payment date, and must be actual agricultural, forestry, or fishery workers registered under the same management entity during the relevant period.

However, those with comprehensive income over 37 million KRW outside of agriculture and fishery, those who fraudulently received various subsidies and loans, and those who separated households while living with eligible recipients are excluded from the payment target.

Additionally, the province added that livestock farmers who violated environmental regulations and received fines or were prosecuted are also excluded from the target.

A provincial official stated, “The Farmer and Fisherman Allowance is a policy promoted to recognize the public value of agriculture, forestry, and fisheries and to establish sustainable agricultural and fishery environmental conditions,” adding, “The province will strive to develop the system so that the allowance provides practical help to agricultural, forestry, and fishery workers.”
