Sangju City to Provide 500,000 Won Livelihood Support to Vulnerable Groups... Online Applications Open from the 10th

Visit Applications Accepted from 17th to June 4th

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] Sangju City, Gyeongbuk Province, will accept applications for 'Temporary Livelihood Support' starting from the 10th to assist households facing income reduction due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The temporary livelihood support is one of the tailored damage countermeasures for the 4th wave of COVID-19. Eligible recipients are households struggling to make a living due to business suspension or closure during the COVID-19 situation, who have not received existing welfare benefits, with a standard median income of 75% or less and assets of 350 million KRW or less.

This support is provided only once on a temporary basis. The payment amount is 500,000 KRW per household regardless of the number of household members. However, households eligible for the 'Small-scale Farm Temporary Management Support Voucher (300,000 KRW)' will receive only the remaining 200,000 KRW.

Applications can be made online or in person. Online applications are accepted from 9 a.m. on the 10th until 10 p.m. on the 28th. After mobile phone identity verification, the head of the household must apply, and applications are operated on an odd-even basis according to the last digit of the birth year.

In-person applications are accepted from 9 a.m. on the 17th until 6 p.m. on June 4. Applicants, including the head of the household and household members, can apply at the administrative welfare center of their residence by bringing an ID card.

Sangju City expects about 3,000 households to benefit due to the significant relaxation of support criteria. Payments will be made sequentially from the end of June after income and asset investigations of the applying households.
