Gwangyang City Begins Second Round of Emergency Disaster Living Expense Payments

33% Paid on the First Day of Disbursement
Expectations for Stabilizing Citizens' Lives and Revitalizing the Stagnant Local Economy

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] Gwangyang City in Jeonnam announced on the 25th that the second round of emergency disaster living expenses payment, which began on the 24th, recorded a payment rate of 33% on the first day and is progressing smoothly.

Gwangyang-eup, Jungma-dong, Gwangyeong-dong, and Okgok-myeon operated 'visiting civil service desks,' and in the myeon areas, convenience was provided to applicants through circulating distribution at village halls, which played a significant role.

Additionally, the implementation of an application day system greatly reduced applicants' waiting times, increasing citizen satisfaction. To prevent COVID-19 infection, the number of distribution locations was increased compared to the first round of emergency disaster living expenses payment last year to avoid population congestion, ensuring thorough quarantine management.

The city will operate the 'visiting civil service desks' through the application day system until the 30th, and from August 31 to September 17, applicants can apply at their resident registration address's eup, myeon, or dong offices by bringing the application form, ID card, and if necessary, a power of attorney and family relation certificate.

Marriage immigrants, permanent residents, and newborns can apply by visiting their resident registration eup, myeon, or dong offices from August 31 to September 17.

Marriage immigrants should prepare the application form, a copy of the foreigner registration card, resident registration certificate (or marriage relation certificate, family relation certificate, foreigner registration fact certificate); permanent residents should prepare the application form, a copy of the foreigner registration card, and foreigner registration fact certificate; newborns should prepare the application form and the legal guardian's ID card. If mobility is difficult, applicants can apply by phone at the eup, myeon, or dong offices from August 31 to September 17, and the offices will visit the applicant's home to distribute the funds.

Deputy Mayor Kim Kyung-ho visited the site of the second emergency disaster living expenses payment on the 25th to encourage the staff and said, "I hope citizens use the Gwangyang Love Gift Certificates early to revitalize the local economy and help their daily lives."
