Gyeonggi-do Extends Deadline for Third Support Fund Application for Households Filing Objections Until December

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province will extend the application period for the 3rd Gyeonggi Province Disaster Basic Income from the original deadline of October 29 to December 10 to prevent cases where households that filed objections to the government’s coexistence national support fund are denied and thus unable to receive the support fund.

On the 26th, Gyeonggi Province announced that it decided to extend the application period for the Gyeonggi Province Disaster Basic Income in consideration of the objection filing and processing period for the government’s coexistence national support fund.

Households that are not filing objections must complete their applications by October 29.

The government will accept objections until December 12 and notify the results within three weeks. Accordingly, the acceptance or rejection of objections is expected to be finalized by December 3.

As of the 19th, there have been 24,911 objections filed, of which 10,603 cases were accepted by the government for payment of the coexistence national support fund. 8,231 cases were rejected, and 5,981 cases are under review.

Along with this, the province will apply the same extension period to cases where payment was not made due to payment impossibility such as card usage suspension among existing applicants for the Gyeonggi Province Disaster Basic Income.

The province plans to provide the Gyeonggi Province Disaster Basic Income to households whose objections were rejected.

However, in this case, online payment is not possible, and payment will be made on-site with the Gyeonggi local currency card at city/county or eup/myeon/dong offices. Although the application period is extended, the usage period remains the same, until December 31.

Meanwhile, except for those who filed objections to the government’s coexistence national support fund and those whose card usage was suspended by each card company, applications must be completed by October 29.

Online applications can be made from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. on the Gyeonggi Province Disaster Basic Income application website, where applicants can check their eligibility and select the card company through which they wish to receive the disaster basic income. The disaster basic income can then be used with a valid card from the selected card company.

For on-site applications, applicants can visit the eup/myeon/dong administrative welfare center at their registered residential address with an ID card from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays (weekends and holidays are operated autonomously by city/county). On the same day, they can receive a Gyeonggi local currency card provided at the administrative welfare center or recharge their existing local currency card.
