Gokseong-gun to Provide 200,000 KRW Per Person as Daily Recovery Happiness Support Fund

Full Payment Made with Gokseong Simcheong Gift Certificates, Expecting Revitalization of Local Economy

[Gokseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Cha Jong-sun] Gokseong-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Lee Sang-cheol) began distributing the Daily Recovery Happiness Support Fund of 200,000 KRW per person to all residents starting September 21.

Gokseong-gun will spend a total of about 5.5 billion KRW on the Daily Recovery Happiness Support Fund, all of which will be paid in Gokseong Simcheong Gift Certificates.

By providing local gift certificates, it is expected to awaken the suppressed consumer sentiment and revitalize the stagnant local economy.

Recipients must apply for payment at the administrative welfare center of their jurisdictional eup/myeon (township).

For residents' convenience, each eup/myeon administrative welfare center will operate a special payment period tailored to the situation of each eup/myeon.

During the special payment period, a one-stop service for visiting applications and payments will be provided for elderly and mobility-impaired residents.

The schedule for visiting payment applications varies by eup/myeon, so applicants should check with their jurisdictional eup/myeon office.

This Daily Recovery Happiness Support Fund is available to anyone who had an address in Gokseong-gun as of August 30, 2022, including marriage immigrants and permanent residents.

For newborns, the birth date is based on August 30, and if birth registration is completed within the application period, the support fund can be received.

Persons without a residence and those who died before the payment standard date are excluded from eligibility.

Applications can be made collectively by the head of household or household members.

Co-residents are considered heads of single-person households and can apply separately or delegate the application to the head of household.

If a family member who is not part of the same household applies, a power of attorney and family relation certificate or other supporting documents must be submitted.

The application deadline is November 30.

A Gokseong-gun official stated, “If the happiness support fund is used at 1,051 affiliated stores including local restaurants, shops, pharmacies, and clinics, it will greatly help the local economy. We will actively guide and promote so that all residents can apply for the Daily Recovery Happiness Support Fund without omission.”
