[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Park Woo-ryang) will provide the 'COVID-19 Coexistence National Support Fund' to residents experiencing economic difficulties due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

According to the county on the 6th, approximately 37,405 people, about 96% of the total residents, are eligible recipients. Each household member will receive 250,000 KRW, with the total support amounting to about 9.4 billion KRW.

The recipients of this COVID-19 Coexistence National Support Fund are households in the bottom 80% income bracket based on health insurance premiums as of June 2021. Separate special criteria apply to dual-income and single-person households.

However, high-asset individuals with a 2020 property tax base of 900 million KRW or more, or financial income exceeding 20 million KRW, are excluded from eligibility regardless of health insurance premium criteria.

The application period is from the 6th to the 29th of next month. Online applications start on the 6th, and in-person applications are available from the 13th. To prevent congestion during the first week of online applications, a five-day rotation system based on the last digit of the birth year will be applied.

Sinan-gun plans to operate a 'visiting application' service for the elderly and disabled. If eligible applicants request at their local town or township office, staff will verify eligibility and visit the applicant’s home to receive the application form and provide gift certificates.

Meanwhile, to ensure prompt payment, the county formed the 'COVID-19 Coexistence National Support Fund TF Team' on the 20th of last month and thoroughly prepared the project by providing business guideline training to town and township officials so residents can apply quickly and without confusion.

Governor Park Woo-ryang stated, "I hope this COVID-19 Coexistence National Support Fund will bring some comfort to residents exhausted by the prolonged pandemic," and added, "We will do our best to ensure residents can receive it conveniently and promptly."

For more details about the COVID-19 Coexistence National Support Fund, please contact the dedicated call center or your local town or township office.
