[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 13th that it will provide the 3rd disaster relief fund to small business owners who are in the blind spots of government loss compensation and disaster relief funds (gathering ban).


The source of the 3rd Hapcheon-gun disaster relief fund is a support fund created from voluntary donations by residents for small business owners who are in the blind spots of government disaster relief funds and are experiencing economic difficulties due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.


This disaster relief fund was decided as the payment target for a total of 88 businesses including entertainment facilities, barbershops in bathhouses, event companies, travel agencies, and educational farms through meetings with the COVID-19 related facility management (responsible) department, and it is expected to cost a total of 170 million won.


Small business owners who wish to apply must submit the disaster relief fund application form, consent form for collection and use of personal information, business registration certificate, and a list of subscribers to the four major insurances issued by the National Health Insurance Corporation or a health insurance qualification certificate.


Applications will be accepted by visiting the county facility management (responsible) department until December 20th, and payments will be made after a review process.



A county official said, "Since last year, the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic has increased damages such as employment instability and sales decline of small business owners," and added, "We hope that the 3rd Hapcheon-gun disaster relief fund will help the economic stability of small business owners and revitalize the local economy."
