[Gokseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Cha Jong-sun] Gokseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that it will provide a daily recovery support fund of 100,000 KRW per person to all residents around the Lunar New Year holiday.

On the 20th, at the 251st Gokseong-gun Council extraordinary session, the "Gokseong-gun Emergency Disaster Relief Fund Support Ordinance" was finally approved.

This ordinance is a necessary legal basis for providing disaster relief funds, which Gokseong-gun proposed to the council after a legislative notice period from January 6 to 12.

The Gokseong-gun Council actively cooperated by holding an extraordinary session to pass the ordinance so that the daily recovery support fund could be paid as soon as possible.

With the ordinance approved, Gokseong-gun plans to expedite the payment of the daily recovery support fund.

To this end, the details regarding the payment of the support fund will be announced to residents within January, and applications for the support fund will be accepted from January 25 to February 25.

If the process goes smoothly, residents are expected to receive the support fund before the Lunar New Year.

The support amount is 100,000 KRW per person for all residents regardless of income level.

As of 0:00 on January 20, 2022, approximately 28,000 people will receive the support fund, including ▲those with an address in Gokseong-gun, ▲marriage immigrants residing or domiciled in Gokseong-gun, and ▲permanent residents residing or domiciled in Gokseong-gun.

However, those who died before the application date or those who moved in from other local governments after January 20 are excluded from the payment target.

The necessary budget of about 2.8 billion KRW will be used from the disaster reserve fund and will be paid in Simcheong gift certificates, a local currency, to revitalize the local economy.

A Gokseong-gun official said, "We believe the support fund will stimulate suppressed consumption and help alleviate the economic difficulties of residents. We will make every effort to expedite the payment so that it can provide appropriate assistance to the residents."
