[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Haenam County in Jeonnam announced that the Haenam County Council held the 1st extraordinary session on the 5th and approved the supplementary budget, including the payment of emergency disaster basic income.

Accordingly, the county plans to provide disaster basic income to all residents for two weeks from the 7th to the 20th. The recipients are residents registered in Haenam County as of January 5, 2021.

The disaster basic income will be paid entirely in Haenam Love Gift Certificates, and applicants can visit the local town or township office at their registered address to apply and receive the payment on-site.

As a principle, the head of each household must apply directly, but if the town or township chief deems it necessary, a visiting application service is also available.

Considering the expected congestion at the application sites, a five-day system will be operated. Applicants whose birth year ends in 1 or 6 can apply on Monday, 2 or 7 on Tuesday, 3 or 8 on Wednesday, 4 or 9 on Thursday, and 5 or 0 on Friday.

Haenam County established the Haenam County Disaster Basic Income Payment Ordinance in September last year, providing the legal basis for payment to ensure social basic rights, promote residents' livelihood safety, and revitalize the local economy in the event of a disaster.

County Governor Myeong Hyun-gwan stated, “Through the payment of disaster basic income to all residents, we hope to wisely overcome the continuously spreading COVID-19 and inject vitality into the prolonged local economic recession.”
