[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] Imsil-gun, Jeonbuk, will provide emergency living expenses to low-income households in crisis affected by COVID-19.

On the 7th, Imsil-gun announced that it will provide emergency living expenses ranging from 400,000 KRW for single-person households to 1,000,000 KRW for households with four or more members to low-income crisis households struggling due to COVID-19.

The support targets households that do not receive benefits from existing welfare systems or COVID-19 damage support projects, and meet all three conditions: income decreased by 25% or more, below 75% of the median income standard, and assets below 300 million KRW.

However, recipients of basic livelihood benefits, emergency living benefits, and other COVID-19 support projects (such as Small Business New Hope Fund, Emergency Employment Stability Subsidy, Worker Employment Retention Subsidy, etc.) are excluded.

Applications can be made in two ways: online application (through the Bokjiro website) from the 12th to the 30th, and in-person application at the eup/myeon office from the 19th to the 30th.

For efficient operation, applications can be submitted based on the last digit of the birth year, following a five-day rotation system by weekday: Monday (1,6), Tuesday (2,7), Wednesday (3,8), Thursday (4,9), Friday (5,0).

When selecting recipients, the payment amount varies by household size: 400,000 KRW for single-person households, 600,000 KRW for two-person households, 800,000 KRW for three-person households, and 1,000,000 KRW for households with four or more members.

County Governor Sim Min said, "Due to social distancing measures from COVID-19, please apply non-face-to-face as much as possible," and added, "We will do our best to provide prompt support to help families facing difficulties in their livelihoods."
