Gangjin-gun Extends Disaster Relief Fund Application Period by 2 Weeks

About 1,500 Unclaimed... Disaster Relief Fund Extended Payment

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-su] Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do, is extending the application period for disaster relief funds for all residents, which was originally scheduled from the 1st to the 28th of this month.

According to the county on the 23rd, the disaster relief funds for all residents, which have been promoted to alleviate the financial burden on residents suffering from the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and to revitalize the stagnant local economy, have been paid to 96% of all residents as of the 22nd since the 1st.

However, since about 1,500 residents have not yet applied, the application period for the disaster relief funds will be extended by about two weeks from the 28th of this month to the 12th of next month.

County Governor Lee Seung-ok stated, “With the extension of the application period for the disaster relief funds, we will conduct active promotional activities to ensure that no resident is left out and that the funds can help household finances.”

Meanwhile, the disaster relief funds being distributed by Gangjin-gun are available for application only to residents registered in Gangjin-gun as of the 31st of last month, permanent residents, and marriage immigrants, with applications possible only by the head of the household as per the resident registration certificate. If the head of the household cannot apply, a proxy can apply with a power of attorney and receive 100,000 won per person in gift certificates on-site at the time of application.
