[Gochang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Gochang-gun, Jeonbuk, has submitted a supplementary budget proposal (hereinafter referred to as the supplementary budget) to the county council to provide disaster relief funds to all residents for early overcoming of the economic crisis caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and revitalization of the local economy.

According to the county on the 26th, this supplementary budget includes funds necessary for disaster relief for facilities complying with COVID-19 administrative orders and support for the recovery of travel agencies' livelihoods, in addition to disaster relief funds for all residents.

The disaster relief funds will be finalized through a one-point supplementary budget next month and are planned to be applied for and paid in March.

The support target is all residents registered in the county as of December 31, 2021, who will receive 100,000 KRW per person.

Households with three or more children and households supporting family members aged 65 or older will receive an additional 200,000 KRW each, and the payment method will be via anonymous cards.

A county official said, "This payment is intended to help stabilize the lives of residents suffering from COVID-19 and to aid in the recovery of the local economy, which has been depressed due to continued social distancing," adding, "We will do our best for the restoration of residents' daily lives."

This supplementary budget will be finally confirmed after deliberation and resolution at the 286th Gochang-gun extraordinary meeting held from the 17th to the 25th of next month.
