Daejeon City Opens Appeals for Childcare Disaster Relief Fund

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Daejeon City is accepting appeals from those who were omitted from the Daejeon-type Childcare Disaster Support.

According to the city on the 3rd, the Daejeon-type Childcare Disaster Support provides 100,000 KRW per child to infants and toddlers aged 0 to 5 residing in Daejeon. The total amount of support paid as of the 28th of last month is 4.3 billion KRW.

However, since the support was provided without a separate application process, cases of omission from the support payment target occurred due to families moving in or out as of the payment reference date (September 30) and account errors, leading to the acceptance of appeals, according to the city.

The appeal targets are infants and toddlers born between January 1, 2015, and September 2021, who were registered as residents of Daejeon as of September 30, and were omitted due to account errors or moving in/out.

Applications can be made from the 3rd to the 26th of this month (until 6 PM) through the local administrative welfare center of the applicant’s residence. Payment of the support funds will be made after review, scheduled for early next month.

For more detailed information, inquiries can be made through the Family Care Division of Daejeon City Hall.

Kang Byung-seon, head of the Family Care Division, said, “The city provides childcare support funds to alleviate the economic burden of raising young children in families,” and added, “We hope that families who were omitted visit the administrative welfare center to apply for appeals and receive support benefits.”
