Adding Love to Happy Families in Hampyeong: 'Childbirth Incentives and Emergency Living Expenses' Provided
61 Newborns Last Year Receive 1 Million Won Childbirth Incentive
Emergency Living Expenses of 500,000 Won for 78 Low-Income Vulnerable Households
[Hampyeong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Hampyeong County has completed the payment of childbirth incentives and emergency living expenses as part of the ‘Adding Love to Happy Families in Hampyeong’ project.
According to the county on the 4th, a total of 61 million KRW was paid as childbirth incentives of 1 million KRW per newborn to 58 families with newborns (61 babies) last year, and a total of 39 million KRW was paid as emergency living expenses of 500,000 KRW each to 78 low-income vulnerable households.
The ‘Adding Love to Happy Families in Hampyeong’ project was planned by Hampyeong County and the local community security council, and funded by the Community Chest of Korea, and was carried out from May to December last year.
The childbirth incentives were paid to families who registered births in Hampyeong County from January to December 2021, based on quarterly applications, and were given to households with income within 100% of the median income standard.
The county used the remaining balance after paying childbirth incentives to provide emergency living expenses to low-income vulnerable groups such as basic livelihood security recipients and near-poverty households.
County Governor Lee Sang-ik expressed gratitude, saying, “I thank Chairman Lee Heung-jae of Donggeon General Construction Co., Ltd. for helping us carry out this meaningful project to promote childbirth encouragement and welfare improvement in our county.”
