[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sacheon City, Gyeongnam Province, will additionally accept applications for the '2022 Agricultural and Fishery Workers Allowance' from workplace insurance subscribers and those who missed the application in the first half of the year, from the 19th to the 30th of this month.

According to the city, workplace subscribers of the National Health Insurance were originally excluded from the Agricultural and Fishery Workers Allowance recipients, but due to changes in the Gyeongnam Province Agricultural and Fishery Workers Allowance guidelines, those who meet the support requirements can now receive the allowance.

The additional application targets are workplace subscribers of the National Health Insurance who have been residing in Sacheon City since before January 1, 2021, and are registered as business owners or co-business owners engaged in agriculture, forestry, or fishery management entities. Those who missed the application in the first half of the year are also included.

Eligible agricultural and fishery workers can submit their application forms to the village head or the administrative welfare center of their address's eup, myeon, or dong by the 30th.

The city plans to strictly review eligibility and confirm recipients, then issue 300,000 KRW prepaid cards from NongHyup to each business owner and co-business owner in November.

However, those with a total comprehensive income of 37 million KRW or more outside of agriculture and fishery, violators of agricultural, forestry, and fishery-related laws, and those who have fraudulently received various subsidies such as direct payments will be excluded from the payment.

A city official said, "We urge agricultural and fishery workers who missed applying for the allowance in the first half and workplace insurance subscribers to be sure to apply during this additional application period," adding, "Please note that applicants may be disqualified depending on whether they meet the eligibility and requirements."
