[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Dong-wook] Daegu City announced on the 26th that from the 31st, applications for the Hope Support Fund credit and debit cards will be accepted through the card companies' websites.

Unlike the previous government emergency disaster relief fund, which was distributed on a household basis, this Daegu Hope Support Fund will be applied for online individually by adults and paid to cards registered under their own names. However, minor household members will be included under the head of the household.

From the 31st to September 4th, a five-day rotation system based on the last digit of the birth year of eligible recipients will be implemented, so applications must be made on the day corresponding to the applicant's birth year. Also, applications will not be accepted during the two-hour database maintenance period from 11 PM to 1 AM the following day.

Kim Young-ae, Director of the Daegu City Citizen Safety Office, said, "At the local government level, Daegu City is the first to establish its own system directly connected online with nine credit card companies," and added, "We hope many people will conveniently recharge their credit and debit cards online rather than applying in person."

Daegu City opened the Daegu Hope Support Fund website on the 24th, providing information such as eligibility and amount inquiry, application methods, usage locations, and frequently asked questions (FAQ).

Meanwhile, since the 24th, Daegu City has started cash payments to vulnerable groups, including basic livelihood security recipients, basic pension recipients, and disability pension recipients, and as of the 25th, payments have been completed for 99.8% of the eligible recipients.
