Hampyeong-gun to Provide Additional 100,000 Won National Support Fund per Person to Low-Income Households

Economic Relief for Low-Income Groups Struggling Due to COVID-19... Lump-Sum Payment Scheduled for the 24th

[Hampyeong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Hampyeong County will provide additional national support funds on the 24th to alleviate the economic burden of low-income groups whose livelihoods have been affected by COVID-19.

On the 20th, Hampyeong County, Jeollanam-do, announced that this additional support fund will be paid in cash at 100,000 KRW per person exclusively to low-income groups, separate from the government's 5th disaster relief fund (National Coexistence Support Fund) targeting the bottom 80% of household income.

The support targets include ▲basic livelihood security recipients ▲statutory second-lowest income groups (disability pension, self-support, disability and child allowance recipients) ▲single-parent families receiving child-rearing support, totaling 2,635 people.

To expedite the payment of support funds, the county extracted the list through the social security information system and completed verification procedures such as confirming the number of household members and account numbers of the target households. The support funds will be paid to the registered accounts of the recipients without a separate application.

However, among the eligible recipients without account information, ▲basic medical and educational benefit recipients ▲second-lowest income group with reduced personal burden ▲second-lowest income group self-support ▲second-lowest income group verification targets will be paid according to the support applications received by the 19th.

The support funds will be paid in bulk to the representative account of the beneficiary household. For newly designated applicants and those on hold outside the jurisdiction as of August 31, payment will be made by the 15th of next month after a verification process.

A county official stated, “We hope the additional national support funds will help stabilize the lives of low-income groups facing economic difficulties due to COVID-19, even if only a little.”
