Yeosu City Accepts Applications for 2022 'Women Farmers and Fishermen Happiness Voucher'

Annual Support of 200,000 KRW... Apply at Your Local Eup, Myeon, or Dong Office by June 15

[Yeosu=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Cheol-hoon] Yeosu City, Jeollanam-do, is accepting additional applications for the 2022 ‘Women Farmers and Fishermen Happiness Voucher’ until June 15.

This measure is to assist women farmers and fishermen who were unable to apply during the application period in January and February due to personal reasons.

Eligible applicants are women farmers and fishermen who have resided in Jeollanam-do since before January 1, 2021, have had an address in Yeosu City for more than one year, and are actively engaged in agriculture and fisheries.

Applicants must be between 20 and 75 years old, born between January 1, 1947, and December 31, 2002.

Women farmers and fishermen wishing to apply should visit their local eup, myeon, or dong community service center by June 15 to submit their application.

Meanwhile, Yeosu City completed issuing happiness voucher cards worth 200,000 KRW to 4,671 women farmers and fishermen starting April 20.

For the additional applicants, after verifying eligibility, the cards will be issued through the NongHyup city branch and local NongHyup cooperatives in August.

The Women Farmers Happiness Voucher card can be used in all industries except those where subsidy cards are not allowed, such as entertainment establishments.

However, if not used by December 31 of this year, the full amount will expire.

A city official stated, “After this additional application period, it will be difficult to provide separate assistance, so women farmers and fishermen who qualify are strongly encouraged to apply within the deadline.”
