[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Jeonnam Goheung-gun (Governor Song Gwi-geun) announced on the 3rd that the application for the ‘COVID-19 Coexistence National Support Fund’ to comfort citizens exhausted by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and revitalize the depressed local economy will begin on the 6th.

The eligible applicants are households registered in Goheung-gun as of June 30, with income below 88% of the lower income bracket (based on health insurance premiums), and the support fund is estimated to cost a total budget of 15.306 billion KRW, with 250,000 KRW per person.

This national coexistence support fund requires individual applications in principle, and minor children can be applied for by the head of the household at the same address.

For proxy applications, applicants must visit the eup/myeon office with an ID card, power of attorney, and documents proving the relationship with the proxy.

Eligibility can be checked in advance from the 5th via the online ‘National Secretary’ website or through the Naver app and KakaoTalk.

The application period is from the 6th to October 29, and online applications can be made from the 6th through the card company’s website or app used by the applicant. Offline (on-site) applications can be submitted from the 13th by visiting the eup/myeon office of the applicant’s address.

However, to prevent congestion, a 5-day rotation system based on the last digit of the birth year will be implemented during the first week of online and offline applications (Monday 1,6; Tuesday 2,7; Wednesday 3,8; Thursday 4,9; Friday 5,0).

The support fund can be used until December 31, and the places where it can be used are the same as those for the existing local love gift certificates.

The county has formed a dedicated task force (TF) team to promptly distribute the COVID-19 coexistence national support fund and plans to operate it according to local circumstances, including offline pre-registration and visiting application services, to enhance convenience for citizens.

A county official said, "We will do our best to mobilize all administrative power to ensure there are no delays in the payment in order to provide the support fund as quickly as possible.”
