Suncheon-si to Provide Additional 100,000 Won per Person in National Support Funds for Low-Income Groups

Payment to 13,887 Basic Livelihood Security Recipients and Legal Second-Lowest Income Group, Lump Sum Account Deposit on the 24th

[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Heo Seok) announced on the 10th that it will temporarily provide an additional national support fund of 100,000 KRW per person to 13,887 people, including basic livelihood security recipients, legally designated lower-income groups, and single-parent families.

This support fund is separate from the 5th disaster relief fund (National Coexistence Support Fund) and will be provided additionally in cash.

The eligible recipients are those under legal protection, including ▲basic livelihood security recipients (living and housing), ▲legally designated lower-income groups (lower-income disabled pension, lower-income self-support, lower-income disabled (child) allowance), and ▲legally designated single-parent families receiving child-rearing support. They will receive the payment in a lump sum on the 24th to the account of one representative of the beneficiary household without a separate application.

However, basic livelihood security recipients without account information (medical and education), and lower-income groups (those eligible for lower-income personal burden reduction and those requiring verification) must visit their local eup/myeon/dong administrative welfare center by the 19th to apply in person.

Additionally, those who newly acquired eligibility before the 31st, those with account errors, unverified cases, or delayed contact and thus did not receive payment will be given additional support on September 15th.

A city official stated, “We hope this will provide some help to low-income groups experiencing economic difficulties due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic,” and added, “We will do our best to ensure that no welfare blind spots occur.”

For more details, inquiries can be made through the Ministry of Health and Welfare call center, Suncheon City Social Welfare Division, or local eup/myeon/dong administrative welfare centers.
