Gochang-gun to Distribute 'COVID-19 Mutual Support National Subsidy' Starting from the 6th

[Gochang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jae-gil] Jeonbuk Gochang-gun (Governor Yu Gi-sang) is mobilizing all administrative efforts to apply for and pay the ‘COVID-19 Coexistence National Support Fund’ starting from the 6th.

According to the county on the 3rd, the payment criteria are based on the health insurance premiums per household registered in the resident registration as of the end of June, targeting the bottom 80% income bracket.

Additionally, preferential criteria are applied for dual-income and single-person households to determine eligibility, and high-asset individuals will be excluded from receiving the support.

The county will provide 250,000 KRW per person through three methods: credit/check card point charging, local love gift card (Nopeul Gochang Card) charging, and prepaid card issuance.

Payments will not be made using paper-type Gochang Love Gift Certificates, and charging the Nopeul Gochang Card will be conducted online only.

The use of the support fund is limited to local love gift card affiliated stores located in the county, and any unused funds will automatically expire on December 31.

Online applications and submissions will be accepted from the 6th to the 29th of next month via credit/check card company websites, apps, call centers, ARS, or local love gift card websites and apps, with points being charged the day after the application date.

Offline applications and submissions will be accepted from the 13th to the 29th of next month, where points can be charged at banks linked with credit/check card companies or prepaid cards can be received at town and township community centers.

To prevent website access issues during eligibility checks, support, and appeals for the COVID-19 Coexistence National Support Fund, and to prevent the spread of COVID-19, a weekday-based system (5-day rotation) will be applied for both online and offline applications during the first week.

A county official said, “To prevent the spread of COVID-19, please use online applications as much as possible, and when applying in person, please comply with quarantine rules.”
