[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam Province, will accept online applications for the Emergency Employment Stability Support Fund starting June 8 for special-type workers (STWs) and freelancers affected by the novel coronavirus infection.

The Emergency Employment Stability Support Fund, supported by the government (Ministry of Employment and Labor), targets 700,000 people in 20 special-type and freelance job categories, including substitute drivers, after-school instructors, insurance planners, and door-to-door salespersons.

The application methods and payment schedules differ slightly depending on whether applicants have received support payments from the first to fifth rounds.

As of May 12, those who are not enrolled in employment insurance and have received Emergency Employment Stability Support Funds from rounds 1 to 5 (STWs and freelancers) will receive 2 million KRW without a separate income screening process.

Applications can be submitted on the website from June 8 until 6 p.m. on June 13. Those who find online application difficult must visit a nearby employment center to apply; employment center applications are accepted on June 10 and 13, and applicants must bring their ID and a copy of their bankbook.

Payments will be made sequentially from June 13 to 17 in the order of application. However, duplicate receipt with similar programs is not allowed.

Applicants (STWs and freelancers) who have never received the Emergency Employment Stability Support Fund must undergo an income screening process to be eligible. Annual income in 2020 must be 50 million KRW or less.

To prove this, applicants must show that they earned a total income of at least 500,000 KRW from activities in October to November 2021 and confirm that they are not enrolled in employment insurance.

Support is only available if income in March or April of this year has decreased by 25% or more compared to the reference period. The reference period is one of six periods: March, April, October, or November of last year, or the monthly average income of 2019 or 2020.

Online applications can be submitted on the website from June 23 until 6 p.m. on July 1. Employment center applications are accepted from June 27 to July 1; applicants must bring their ID, a copy of their bankbook, and supporting documents to the nearest employment center.
