Muan-gun Expands Citizen Safety Insurance to Up to 22 Types This Year

Three Items Added Including Infectious Disease Death... Up to 20 Million KRW Coverage

[Muan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan County will expand coverage of the county residents' safety insurance, which applies to all residents, to up to 22 types this year.

The county residents' safety insurance is a system where the county signs a contract with an insurance company to pay a certain amount of insurance money to residents who suffer damage due to various unexpected disasters, accidents, or crimes during daily life.

Since its implementation in 2020, the county residents' safety insurance automatically enrolls anyone registered as a resident with an address in Muan County.

In particular, the additional coverage items added by Muan County this year include three items: death from infectious diseases such as COVID-19 and severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome, death or permanent disability due to gas injury, and residents receive benefits for a total of 22 items.

For 13 items with a high accident occurrence rate, coverage can be up to 20 million KRW.

Residents who have suffered damage must submit an insurance claim form and supporting documents to the insurance company within three years from the date of the accident, and the payment of insurance money will be decided based on the review results.

For more details about the county residents' safety insurance, inquiries can be made to the Safety General Division of Muan County Office or the Korea Local Finance Association.

Meanwhile, last year, the number of subscribers to Muan County residents' safety insurance was 88,409, with a subscription amount of 93 million KRW, and seven residents who suffered damage from agricultural machinery or drowning accidents received insurance payments totaling 97 million KRW.
