[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 29th that it will relax the criteria for emergency livelihood support for households in crisis due to damage from the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and extend the application period until November 6.

This relaxation of criteria was promoted to expand the support range for crisis households by changing application conditions and targets, and to reduce the burden on applicants by simplifying application documents.

According to the changes, the application criteria have been relaxed from "income reduction of 25% or more" to "households in crisis such as income reduction," including households with income reduction less than 25%.

Households in crisis eligible for support that meet the household income (within 75% of median income) and rural property criteria (within 300 million KRW) can apply through the "Bokjiro" website or the eup/myeon office.

Households that have received existing welfare programs such as basic and emergency livelihood benefits, or government support such as emergency employment stabilization subsidies, Small Business New Hope Fund, and Youth Special Employment Support Program are excluded from this support.
