Yangcheon-gu, Nationwide First to Support Injury Insurance Enrollment for Disabled Youth...Up to 10 Million KRW Support for Injury Death

Support for Injury Insurance Enrollment for Over 850 Disabled Youth

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) is the first in the nation to support the subscription of accident insurance that alleviates the financial burden by preparing for various unexpected accidents for disabled youth.

The eligible subscribers are approximately 850 registered disabled individuals aged 9 to under 24 residing in the district.

This project is meaningful in supporting insurance subscription for disabled youth in their growth phase who are highly active and at greater risk of accidents, helping families with disabled members maintain stable home lives and supporting balanced growth.

The accident insurance coverage period is from May 1 to April 30 of the following year, providing one year of protection.

The coverage includes ▲ up to 10 million KRW in case of death due to an accident ▲ up to 10 million KRW for permanent disability caused by an accident ▲ 10,000 KRW per day for hospitalization due to an accident from day 1 (up to 180 days) ▲ 100,000 KRW for fracture diagnosis, among others.

Those wishing to subscribe can visit their local community service center from April 5 to April 20 to apply.

For more details, inquiries can be made to the Self-Reliance Support Division of the district office.

Kim Soo-young, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, said, “We hope that by supporting accident insurance subscription, disabled youth can freely participate in sports, cultural, and educational activities in the community, contributing to the activation of youth social participation and improvement of quality of life.”
