[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Park Woo-ryang) announced on the 3rd that it will promote a 'Temporary Livelihood Support Project' for low-income households experiencing economic difficulties due to COVID-19, in line with the government's 4th customized damage measures.


This temporary livelihood support fund targets low-income households whose income has decreased due to COVID-19 damage, with a median income of 75% or less (2-person 기준 2.31 million KRW), and property under 300 million KRW.


However, recipients of basic livelihood security (livelihood benefits), emergency welfare (livelihood support), and those eligible for the 4th disaster relief fund (emergency employment stability support, small business owner support plus, etc.) are excluded from the application.


Applications can be submitted from the 3rd to the 4th of next month, either online (Bokjiro) or by visiting the welfare administration department of the local eup/myeon office.


The support amount is 500,000 KRW per household, and after reviewing income, property, and overlap of support, the cash will be paid to the application account next month.


Meanwhile, to ensure smooth project implementation, the county formed the 'Sinan-gun Temporary Livelihood Support TF Team' on the 25th of last month, deploying dedicated personnel and conducting multifaceted prior publicity. The county also thoroughly prepared the project by providing project guideline education to eup/myeon staff so that residents can apply quickly without confusion.



Governor Park Woo-ryang said, "I hope this support will be of some help to low-income residents struggling due to COVID-19," and added, "This temporary livelihood support can be applied for with minimal document submission, and since support is possible through the county's own review committee, we will do our best to ensure that as many low-income residents as possible receive support quickly without omission."
