Hwasun-gun Opens Applications for 'Temporary Livelihood Support Fund' Starting the 10th

[Hwasun=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Ji-woon] Jeonnam Hwasun-gun (Governor Gu Chung-gon) announced on the 3rd that it will accept applications for the ‘Temporary Livelihood Support Fund’ from the 10th of this month to the 4th of next month in accordance with the government’s 4th customized damage support measures.

The Temporary Livelihood Support Fund is financial aid intended to help low-income households that have experienced crises such as income reduction due to COVID-19 but have not received any other damage support.

Online applications can be made on the Bokjiro website from the 10th to the 28th of this month, operated on an odd-even system: on odd-numbered days, people whose birth year ends in an odd number can apply, and on even-numbered days, those whose birth year ends in an even number can apply.

On-site applications can be made at the resident’s local eup/myeon administrative welfare center from the 17th to the 4th of next month regardless of the odd-even system.

The support target is those registered in the resident registration as of March 1st, low-income households with income below 75% of the median income (KRW 3,657,000 for a family of four) and assets below KRW 300 million, who have experienced income reduction due to COVID-19.

Households receiving ▲basic livelihood security (livelihood benefits) and emergency welfare (livelihood support) ▲emergency employment stabilization funds from the Ministry of Employment and Labor, emergency employment stabilization funds for general taxi drivers, livelihood support for visiting care workers ▲support funds such as the Buttress Plus Fund and Income Stabilization Support Fund from the Ministry of SMEs and Startups ▲damage agricultural person support and management support vouchers (KRW 300,000) from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs cannot receive duplicate support.

The university student work-study scholarship under the Ministry of Education is considered a wage for labor, so duplicate receipt is possible.

Households receiving management support vouchers (KRW 300,000) for small-scale farms such as those in the agriculture, forestry, and fishery industries will receive the difference if they meet the support requirements.

The payment amount is KRW 500,000 per household, and KRW 200,000 (voucher difference) for small-scale farms, paid once in cash to the application account by the end of next month after income and asset investigation.

A county official said, “We will do our best to stabilize the livelihoods of households in crisis due to COVID-19 and to discover and support low-income blind spots struggling with income reduction.”
