Boseong-gun Begins Accepting Applications for 'Emergency Living Support Fund for Low-Income Crisis Households'

[Boseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Boseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that it began accepting applications for emergency livelihood support funds for low-income crisis households that do not benefit from existing welfare systems or COVID-19 damage support projects starting from the 12th.

This emergency livelihood support fund is targeted at low-income households that have experienced job loss or temporary/permanent business closure due to COVID-19, have had their income decrease by 25% or more, have a standard median income of 75% or less, and assets of 300 million KRW or less.

The payment amounts are 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 of four or more. After income and asset verification, the funds will be paid in cash to the application account in November.

However, recipients of basic livelihood security (livelihood benefits), emergency welfare (livelihood support), other COVID-19 damage support projects (such as emergency employment stabilization funds and new hope funds for small business owners), government officials, and participants in public jobs are excluded from eligibility.

Online applications using the internet and mobile devices can be made from October 12 to 30 on the Bokjiro website after mobile phone identity verification, and the head of the household can apply. On-site applications can be made from the 19th to the 30th at the local administrative welfare centers (myeon offices), and applications by household members or representatives are also allowed.

To facilitate smooth applications, a day-of-the-week system based on the last digit of the birth year is in operation, and on-site applications are not available on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays.

A county official said, “We hope this emergency livelihood support for crisis households will help stabilize the lives of low-income crisis households whose income has decreased due to COVID-19.”
