Temporary Emergency Living Support Fund for Low-Income Households in Sinan-gun

Payment with prepaid card without separate application

[Sinan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-kyung] Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do, will provide a one-time emergency living support fund to ease the burden on low-income households who are feeling significant financial pressure due to the recent rapid rise in living costs.

The support targets basic livelihood security recipients, legally designated near-poverty groups, and single-parent families receiving child-rearing support as of May 29, the date of the supplementary budget approval by the National Assembly. The amount ranges from a minimum of 300,000 KRW to a maximum of 1,450,000 KRW.

The support amount varies by household size: for livelihood and medical benefits, 400,000 KRW for a single-person household up to 1,450,000 KRW for households with seven or more members; for housing, education, near-poverty, and single-parent families, 300,000 KRW for a single-person household up to 1,090,000 KRW for households with seven or more members. Additionally, recipients residing in care facilities will receive 200,000 KRW per person as a facility subsidy.

The payment method, considering the purpose of support, will be via prepaid cards that can restrict use in entertainment, leisure, and gambling businesses and allow for easy post-management. These cards will be distributed at the town and township offices from the end of June to August 1 without requiring an application process.

Park Woo-ryang, Mayor of Sinan-gun, stated, "Through the 'Low-Income Temporary Emergency Living Support Fund,' we will do our best to alleviate the economic difficulties of vulnerable groups facing hardships in their livelihoods, including reducing the burden of living and heating/cooling costs, and to greatly contribute to stabilizing the lives of ordinary citizens."

For distribution of the prepaid cards for the Low-Income Temporary Emergency Living Support Fund and other detailed information, please contact the local town or township office or the Sinan-gun Resident Welfare Division.
