[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Jindo-gun, Jeollanam-do received the grand prize in the 2020 nationwide local government evaluation of regional welfare projects conducted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare.

According to Jindo-gun on the 18th, in the 2020 regional welfare project evaluation hosted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and conducted among local governments nationwide, Jindo-gun was selected as the grand prize-winning local government for post-management of welfare recipients and received a prize of 10 million won.

The county has been promoting the provision of health and welfare services and integrated case management more efficiently and systematically through organic cooperation with the visiting welfare dedicated teams in 7 eup and myeon (towns and townships).

In particular, as a result of a comprehensive evaluation of social security benefit management and efforts to prevent fraudulent claims, Jindo-gun received high marks in seven indicators including integrated household personnel maintenance processing within the period for proper social security benefit payment management, notification processing rate and appropriateness of changes, and personal information protection status.

Also, in line with the COVID-19 era, the county established an organized and professional community delivery system foundation by operating visiting welfare dedicated teams, supporting one-stop services, and providing welfare services through regional welfare project social security benefits (post-management).

It contributed to the practical promotion of community welfare by making efforts to assist households deemed inappropriate due to exceeding property amounts, securing additional budgets for emergency support projects for crisis households, and discovering and supporting vulnerable crisis households in welfare blind spots in the local community.

County Governor Lee Dong-jin stated, “Through collaboration with social welfare officials, we will do our best to further enhance the reliability of social welfare administration and create a happy community for all residents.”
