Jeonju City to Provide Additional 100,000 Won National Support Fund to Low-Income Households

[Jeonju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Han-ho] Jeonju City will provide an additional 100,000 KRW in national support funds to about 44,000 citizens, including basic livelihood security recipients, to alleviate the financial burden on low-income households.

According to Jeonju City on the 17th, this additional national support fund is provided separately from the "National Coexistence Support Fund," under which the government decided to pay 250,000 KRW per person to citizens in the bottom 88% income bracket.

The support targets include basic livelihood security recipients, legally defined near-poor classes, and single-parent families receiving child-rearing support.

Basic livelihood security recipients receiving monthly welfare benefits for living and housing, near-poor disabled persons, and single-parent families receiving child-rearing support will receive the funds on the 24th through their existing benefit accounts without a separate application.

Basic livelihood security recipients of medical and educational benefits who do not receive cash benefits and thus have no account information, as well as near-poor persons eligible for reduced personal burden, self-support, or verification of near-poor status, can apply at their local community service center by the 20th to receive payment on the 15th of next month.

Kim Seung-su, Mayor of Jeonju, said, "Amid the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, everyone is facing difficulties, but the hardships felt by low-income groups are even greater. I hope this additional national support fund for low-income groups will help alleviate the financial burden on vulnerable groups."
