Uljin-gun Provides 500,000 Won in Living Expenses to Low-Income Households... Households That Did Not Receive Previous Disaster Relief Funds

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] Uljin County, Gyeongbuk Province (County Governor Jeon Chan-geol) is implementing a temporary livelihood support project for low-income households whose income has decreased due to COVID-19 but have not received damage support benefits.

The recipients are low-income households with a standard median income of 75% or less and assets of 300 million KRW or less who are experiencing financial difficulties. Each eligible household will receive 500,000 KRW.

Online applications via internet and mobile are accepted from the 10th to the 28th. On-site applications at the eup/myeon offices can be submitted from the 17th to June 4th, and payments will be made to bank accounts during June.

Recipients of Basic Livelihood Security (livelihood benefits), Emergency Welfare (livelihood support), and other disaster relief funds (Emergency Employment Stability Support, Home Care Worker Livelihood Support, Buttress Plus Fund, Income Stabilization Support Fund, etc.) are excluded. However, if a small-scale farm or similar business support voucher recipient (300,000 KRW) is selected for the temporary livelihood support, they can receive the difference amount (200,000 KRW).

The eligibility criteria for support require a decrease in income compared to 2019 or 2020, specifically from January to May 2021, and applicants must submit supporting documents such as withholding tax receipts, transaction statements, bank transaction records, or business closure reports.

Jeon Chan-geol, Uljin County Governor, stated, "We hope that the temporary livelihood support will help stabilize the lives of low-income households whose income has decreased due to COVID-19."
