Gochang-gun Receives Jeonbuk Governor's Commendation in Basic Livelihood Security Sector

[Gochang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Gochang-gun, Jeonbuk, has been selected as an excellent institution in the basic livelihood security sector for three consecutive years since the 7th local government, drawing attention to "dense welfare that does not leave anyone behind."

According to the county on the 29th, it was selected as an excellent institution in the evaluation of the basic livelihood security sector targeting 14 cities and counties in Jeonbuk this year and will receive a commendation from the Governor of Jeonbuk.

The county saw a 37.7% increase compared to last year in new beneficiaries due to the relaxation of the support obligation criteria for basic livelihood benefits and the discovery rate of Jeonbuk-type basic livelihood security.

This means that warm support was extended by finding those waiting for help in welfare blind spots throughout the villages.

It also received high marks by quickly supporting welfare recipients, ranking first in the emergency welfare execution rate.

The county is actively promoting the National Basic Livelihood Security Project every year to eliminate blind spots such as non-beneficiary poor households.

Following the Jeollabuk-do Governor's Commendation in 2019 and the Ministry of Health and Welfare's Excellent Institution selection last year, it was selected as an excellent institution in Jeollabuk-do again this year for three consecutive years.

Jo Jeongho, head of the Social Welfare Division, said, "To actively respond to changes in basic livelihood security benefits and selection criteria and new welfare benefit demands, we introduced the Gochang-type basic livelihood security system and will do our best to become a solid social safety net without welfare blind spots."
