"Can I receive it too?"... Check Your National Support Fund on KakaoPay

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] From now on, users will be able to check how much of the National Support Fund they can receive through KakaoPay.

On the 12th, KakaoPay announced that it will launch the ‘National Support Fund Calculator,’ which allows users to verify in advance whether they are eligible for the government’s COVID-19 Coexistence National Support Fund (disaster relief fund) and the amount they can receive, in line with the government’s schedule. Users who wish to use the service can select ‘National Support Fund Calculator’ under Asset Management in the Pay Home service tab.

Users do not need to individually check the complex special cases and exceptions; they only need to fill in the information requested by the service.

The information required for the service includes the type of health insurance subscribed to by family members, the amount of health insurance premiums, and the number of family members, allowing users to check the total amount receivable for the entire family at once. Even if users do not know the exact amount of their health insurance premiums, they can verify their eligibility for the National Support Fund by retrieving details from the National Health Insurance Service.

Users who apply for the notification service through the ‘National Support Fund Calculator’ will also receive messages informing them of the application period for the support fund.

However, the ‘National Support Fund Calculator’ is a simulated inquiry service based on users’ responses, so there may be some differences from the actual receipt status and amount.

After the end of this month, users who receive and use the National Support Fund via the KakaoPay Money Card may also enjoy a 0.3% KakaoPay Points accumulation benefit.

A KakaoPay official said, “In these difficult times due to COVID-19, we have prepared this service so that users can easily and conveniently check their National Support Fund eligibility.”
