Jeonju City Expands Third Childbirth Celebration Fund to 1 Million Won

Starting Next Month 13, Birth Celebration Money Increased to 300,000 Won for First Child, 500,000 Won for Second Child

[Jeonju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Han-ho] Jeonju City will expand the birth congratulatory money starting from the 13th of next month, providing 300,000 KRW for the first child, 500,000 KRW for the second child, and 1,000,000 KRW for the third child and beyond.

Jeonju City announced on the 30th that it decided to increase the birth congratulatory money to alleviate the childcare burden on citizens and promote a birth-friendly atmosphere.

For the first child, the current birth congratulatory money of 100,000 KRW will be tripled to 300,000 KRW, and for the second child, it will increase by 200,000 KRW from 300,000 KRW to 500,000 KRW.

In particular, the birth congratulatory money for the third child and beyond will increase more than threefold from the current 300,000 KRW to 1,000,000 KRW.

Families with a third child or more will receive a total support amount of 2,200,000 KRW, which includes 1,000,000 KRW in birth congratulatory money plus 1,200,000 KRW in childcare expenses paid in installments of 100,000 KRW per month over 12 months.

The support targets are newborns registered in Jeonju City, where either the father or mother of the newborn must be registered residents of Jeonju City at the time of birth, and the supported newborn must be registered as part of the same household.

For children born from January of this year to last month, the increased amount will be retroactively supported to the account previously received without a separate application.

Meanwhile, in addition to providing birth congratulatory money, Jeonju City offers benefits to multi-child families such as free admission to Jeonju Zoo, Natural Ecology Museum, and Gyeonggijeon Shrine; a 50% discount on parking fees at public and affiliated parking lots; a 50% discount on usage fees for Jeonju City sports facilities; and reductions in water and sewage charges.
