[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim San) announced on the 17th that, anticipating increased hardships for livelihoods due to the winter cold wave and COVID-19, it will actively identify households in welfare crisis during the winter season from the 16th of last month until February next year and provide support to help them overcome difficulties.

During this period, the county will focus on identifying marginalized groups who need help due to winter crises but are not receiving support. Those eligible for public support services will be provided with customized welfare benefits and emergency welfare aid, while those who cannot receive support due to exceeding public support criteria will be assisted through cooperation with private organizations to overcome winter crisis situations.

Additionally, to identify and investigate households in welfare crisis, the county plans to strengthen home visits and consultations, actively utilizing members of the local community security council, welfare village chiefs, honorary social welfare officers, and welfare task forces.

A county official stated, “We will do our best to actively identify welfare marginalized groups in need of help so that vulnerable households in the area can spend a warm winter and ensure that various welfare benefits are delivered.”
