Uljin-gun to Provide Basic Income of 100,000 Won per Resident Until October 14... Current Payment Rate at 75%

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongwook Park] Uljin-gun, Gyeongbuk announced on the 25th that as of the 23rd, it has recorded a 75% payment rate while providing disaster basic income of 100,000 won per person to all residents since the 14th.

To support the disaster relief fund, Uljin-gun secured 5 billion won in county funds by conducting a rigorous expenditure budget restructuring in the 3rd supplementary budget, including budget cuts due to the cancellation of various events caused by COVID-19, as well as reductions in official travel expenses and annual leave compensation.

The application deadline for the disaster basic income is October 14. The 5-day rotation application system has been lifted. As of the 23rd, 18,868 households and 37,558 people have applied, recording a 75% payment rate.

The support target is residents who have continuously registered their residence in Uljin-gun as of midnight on July 31 until the application date. The application method requires the head of the household to bring an ID card and visit the local eup/myeon office in charge of their address to apply. Uljin-gun provides the total amount for the entire household through the Uljin Sarang Card.

The Uljin Sarang Card is a local currency introduced to revitalize the local economy, and the support funds can be used within Uljin-gun until December 31. Use is restricted at certain establishments such as entertainment bars and gambling businesses.

County Governor Chankul Jeon urged, "When applying, it is essential to strictly follow quarantine rules such as wearing masks," and added, "For the upcoming Chuseok holiday, I hope everyone refrains from visiting their hometowns for each other's safety and spends the holiday sharing only their hearts."
