[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Daejeon City will provide temporary emergency living support funds to low-income households in the region.
The city announced on the 23rd that the "Temporary Emergency Living Support Fund for Low-Income Households" will be distributed from the 27th of this month via the Ontong Daejeon anonymous prepaid card.

Basic (housing, education) beneficiaries, near-poor classes, and single-parent families receiving child-rearing support will receive differential payments of ▲ 300,000 KRW for 1 person ▲ 490,000 KRW for 2 persons ▲ 620,000 KRW for 3 persons ▲ 750,000 KRW for 4 persons ▲ 870,000 KRW for 5 persons ▲ 980,000 KRW for 6 persons ▲ 1,090,000 KRW for 7 or more persons.
