[Yeongam＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Jeonnam Yeongam-gun (Governor Jeon Dong-pyeong) announced on the 21st that, following July last year and January this year, it will provide the '3rd Yeongam-type Disaster Living Expenses' to all residents to overcome COVID-19.

The county plans to spend a budget of 8.3 billion KRW for all residents, paying 150,000 KRW per person from the 26th of this month until the 20th of next month. This is expected to greatly contribute to the recovery of households facing difficulties due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and the stagnant local economy.

The specific recipients are residents and foreigners (permanent residents, marriage immigrants) who have been registered in Yeongam-gun before July 19, 2021, and newborns born until the application date will also receive the disaster living expenses. The disaster living expenses will be paid in Yeongam Love Gift Certificates, and applicants can visit the local eup/myeon office of their registered address to apply and receive the payment on the spot through a one-stop service.

Applications should be made directly by the head of the household per household as a principle, but for elderly or disabled persons who have difficulty moving and live alone, a visiting application service is also available. Required documents include the head of household’s ID for self (head of household) applications; for proxy (other than head of household) applications, a power of attorney, IDs of both the head of household and proxy; and for foreign applicants, a permanent resident card or alien registration card, etc.

A county official stated, “We expect that implementing universal welfare rather than selective welfare will provide great vitality to households and local small business owners facing economic difficulties due to the prolonged COVID-19 situation.”
