[Muan＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do, has once again attracted attention with the swift distribution of the Muan-type disaster relief fund, which began disbursement on the 9th.

According to the county on the 12th, to share the suffering of residents affected by COVID-19 and aid in the recovery of daily life, a separate budget of 9 billion KRW was prepared apart from the government disaster relief fund, and the second round of disaster relief payments of 100,000 KRW per person is being distributed to residents, marriage immigrants, and permanent residents.

In this process, for the convenience of residents, all staff have been organized into a one-village-in-charge system, visiting their assigned villages directly to receive applications and facilitate payments.

As a result, within three days of the start of distribution, 56,100 residents, accounting for 61% of the 90,834 eligible recipients, have received the Muan-type disaster relief fund, which is expected to greatly contribute to revitalizing the local economy by the end of the year.

County Governor Kim San said, “All public officials are working hard to help residents recover their daily lives,” adding, “I hope the Muan-type disaster relief fund serves as a small comfort to the residents who have endured hardships.”

Meanwhile, the Muan-type disaster relief fund is being distributed to residents, marriage immigrants, and permanent residents registered in Muan-gun as of the application date starting from the 1st, with the application period running until the 17th. Payments are being made at the local town and township offices and the new city support centers (Namak, Oryong).
