[Haenam＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Myung Hyun-kwan) will expand the marriage encouragement fund support to 3 million KRW starting in July.

According to the county on the 2nd, to overcome population decline and improve settlement conditions for the youth, since 2018, newlywed couples marrying within the county have been receiving marriage encouragement funds.

In particular, from the second half of this year, the encouragement fund paid at the time of marriage, which was 1 million KRW, will be increased to 2 million KRW, and an additional 1 million KRW will be paid for long-term residence of over one year, making a total of 3 million KRW in encouragement funds.

The conditions for receiving the marriage encouragement fund are that at least one of the spouses has had an address in Haenam-gun for more than one year before the marriage registration date, and that both spouses currently have an address in Haenam-gun at the time of application. Applications must be made between six months and one year after the marriage registration.

The county previously amended related ordinances to establish the basis for support, and the policy has been in effect since the 1st of this month.

Additionally, regarding the moving-in congratulatory gift, which was originally paid based on households of two or more people, the scope has been expanded to provide 50,000 KRW worth of Haenam Love Gift Certificates per individual moving in.

For inquiries about the marriage encouragement fund support, detailed guidance can be obtained by calling the Population Policy Division’s Population Policy Team.
