Naju-si Aims for 100% Disaster Relief Fund Distribution... Nighttime Service Desk Operation

[Naju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Han-hyuk] Naju City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Kang In-gyu) is promoting proactive administration to achieve 100% payment of its own emergency disaster relief funds.

According to the city on the 12th, this disaster relief fund service is being provided through a visiting application service tailored to the circumstances of each eup, myeon, and dong, targeting socially vulnerable groups such as elderly with mobility difficulties, patients with severe diseases, and persons with disabilities.

Also, considering office workers who find it difficult to visit administrative welfare centers during business hours from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., the city plans to operate weekday night counters, and the visiting application service is being conducted in 19 eup, myeon, and dong (excluding Bitgaram-dong) where the elderly population ratio is relatively high.

Until the application deadline on the 19th, eup, myeon, and dong staff will visit households or senior centers in coordination with village chiefs and community leaders to assist with application form completion and provide gift certificates on-site.

Bitgaram-dong, where the proportion of office workers is high, will extend counter operating hours from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. starting on the 15th, and citizens visiting the night counter can receive gift certificates on-site immediately upon application.

Songwol, Yeonggang, Geumnam, Seongbuk, Ichang, Yeongsan-dong, and Gongsan and Geumcheon myeon will also operate night counters until 8 p.m. from the 15th to the 19th.

Yeonggang-dong will operate weekend counters on the 13th and 14th (from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.), Geumnam-dong on the 13th (from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.), and Dasi and Geumcheon myeon on the 14th (from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.).

The city will operate an objection submission period related to disaster relief fund payments at eup, myeon, and dong offices for eight days from the 22nd to the 31st, and required documents such as objection forms can be checked through the emergency disaster relief fund payment popup on the website.

Mayor Kang In-gyu said, “We are promoting customized proactive administration by fully considering the elderly and office worker residence ratios and the circumstances of each eup, myeon, and dong,” adding, “We will do our utmost meticulously to ensure 100% payment to all citizens.”

Meanwhile, as of the previous day, the application rate for Naju City’s disaster relief fund reached 82%.
