Basic Livelihood Security Recipients and Low-Income Groups: Childcare Support for Single-Parent Families

Deposited into Existing Basic Livelihood Security Benefit Accounts Without Separate Procedures

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Busan City announced that it will provide additional national support funds for low-income households on the 24th.

The additional support funds will be provided separately to low-income households, apart from the '5th Disaster Relief Fund' targeting the bottom 80% of household income. The full amount is covered by the national budget reflected in the government's 2nd supplementary budget.

The eligible recipients include approximately 258,900 people in the Busan area who qualified before August 31, such as ▲Basic Livelihood Security Recipients ▲Legally Designated Near-Poverty Class ▲Single-parent families eligible for child-rearing support.

The payment amount is 100,000 KRW per person, paid once, and will be deposited into the existing benefit accounts according to the number of qualified household members without a separate application process.

However, those eligible for basic medical and educational benefits, near-poverty self-pay reduction, near-poverty self-support, and near-poverty class verification without account information must visit the local community service center by the 23rd to apply.

The support funds are scheduled to be paid in a lump sum on the 24th. For account errors or legally designated low-income individuals newly determined in August, additional payments are planned by the 15th of next month. For more details, contact the local eup/myeon/dong community service center or the Ministry of Health and Welfare call center.

Park Hyung-jun, Mayor of Busan, said, "I hope this will provide some help to low-income households who have been struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic."
