[Asia Economy Yang Nak-gyu, Military Specialist Reporter] In the future, even if veterans change their address, the local government in charge will be able to automatically provide veterans' allowances. Until now, veterans had to directly report to the local government they moved to in order to receive the veterans' allowance, but there were cases of omission due to lack of awareness.

On the 3rd, the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs announced that, in collaboration with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, they have established a linkage system to share information between local governments and veterans, and decided to manage veterans through each local government's administrative system.

This system, built by local governments, was launched nationwide in July. By utilizing this system, information on 500,000 people receiving veterans' allowances monthly from local governments will be automatically managed.

A government official stated, "In the future, the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs plans to do its best to enhance the respect and welfare of veterans by ensuring that they can receive various veterans' benefits from local governments in a timely manner without separate applications, not only when changing addresses but also when newly designated as national merit recipients."
