Incheon City to Provide 100,000 KRW Monthly Support to Democracy Movement Participants and Their Families Starting This Year

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Incheon City announced on the 6th that starting this month, it will provide a monthly living support fund or honorary allowance of 100,000 KRW to democratization movement participants and their bereaved families.

The support recipients must be recognized as democratization movement participants by the Committee for the Restoration of Honor and Compensation for Democratization Movement Participants according to the law.

The living support fund is available to household members of Incheon citizens with a median income of 100% or less, while the honorary allowance is for participants aged 65 or older. The living support fund and honorary allowance cannot be received simultaneously.

In the event of the death of a democratization movement participant, a funeral expense of 1,000,000 KRW will be provided, and the living support fund will be inherited by only one bereaved household. However, those receiving support under other laws related to the democratization movement are excluded from this support.

Applications can be made without a deadline starting from the 24th at the administrative welfare centers of the applicant's resident area (eup, myeon, dong).

Incheon City established the related ordinance last November to provide a basis for support in order to honor those who contributed to democratization and their bereaved families and to spread the values of democracy.
