[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 4th that it will promote a temporary livelihood support project for low-income households experiencing crises such as income reduction due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The support targets low-income households that have not received existing welfare benefits or COVID-19 damage support, providing 500,000 KRW per household.

Households with income at or below 75% of the median income standard, and in rural areas, total property value of 300 million KRW or less, are eligible to apply.

However, households receiving basic livelihood security (livelihood benefits), emergency welfare (livelihood support), and those who were recipients of the 4th COVID-19 disaster relief fund in 2021 cannot receive overlapping support.

Online applications will be accepted from the 10th to the 28th, using an odd-even system based on the last digit of the birth year.

The head of the household must authenticate their identity via Bokjiro or Mobile Bokji, fill out the application form, and submit it along with consent forms for providing personal information of all household members and supporting documents related to income reduction.

On-site applications can be made from the 17th to June 4th, where the head of the household, a household member, or a legal representative must bring an ID card and visit the local town or township office to submit the application form, consent forms for all household members, and supporting documents for income reduction.

Park Eun-sook, Director of the Resident Welfare Division, said, "We plan to simplify the income reduction verification documents for low-income households whose income has decreased due to COVID-19 so that as many residents as possible can receive support."
