Wando-gun Supports Young Couples with 2 Million Won Marriage Congratulatory Fund

For Young Married Couples Who Registered Their Marriage Since January 1 of Last Year

[Wando＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do, is promoting the ‘2023 Newlywed Couple Marriage Congratulatory Fund’ support project to alleviate the initial economic burden of young couples and ensure stable local settlement. The congratulatory fund provides 2 million KRW.

According to the county on the 17th, the eligibility criteria are young couples aged 49 or younger as of the marriage registration date, who registered their marriage after January 1 of last year, and at least one of the couple must be a first-time marriage.

Additionally, all of the following residency requirements must be met: both spouses must have continuously resided with an address in Jeollanam-do for more than 6 months prior to the application date, both spouses must maintain an address in Jeollanam-do from the application date until the payment date, and at least one spouse must have an address in Wando-gun.

The application period is from 6 months after the marriage registration date up to 12 months, so applicants should be careful not to miss the deadline.

Applications must be submitted in person at the town or township office of the applicant’s registered address with the required documents. To prevent duplicate payments, the applicant should be the wife in principle, but in unavoidable cases, the husband may apply through a power of attorney.

The marriage congratulatory fund is paid in a lump sum on the 10th of the month following the application month. This year, support is provided to a total of 100 couples annually, and the project will end once the budget is exhausted.

For detailed information and required documents, please refer to the Wando-gun website under County Administration Information - Administrative Information - Notices, or contact the Population Policy Team of the Population and Job Policy Office in Wando-gun.

A county official stated, “In addition to the young couple marriage congratulatory fund, we are promoting projects such as interest support for newlywed housing loans to reduce housing costs and health checkup support for newlywed (prospective) couples. We plan to continue implementing various customized youth policies in the future.”
