[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Gyeongsangnam-do recently announced that it will provide an additional 50,000 KRW per household for heating costs to vulnerable groups eligible for the energy voucher program who are experiencing financial difficulties due to the ongoing cold wave and soaring heating expenses.

This support from Gyeongsangnam-do is separate from the government's policy to double the energy voucher support amount and double the gas bill discount rate.

Accordingly, Hamyang-gun in Gyeongsangnam-do announced on the 17th that it plans to provide 50,000 KRW for heating costs to vulnerable groups eligible for the energy voucher program within the region, having received 74 million KRW in provincial funds from Gyeongsangnam-do.

The support targets 1,480 vulnerable households receiving energy vouchers, kerosene vouchers, or briquette coupons, and households qualified for the 2022 energy voucher program but currently not receiving vouchers can also receive the 50,000 KRW heating cost support.

Eligibility for the voucher includes basic livelihood security recipients who are elderly, infants and young children, persons with disabilities, pregnant women, single-parent families, youth-headed households, children under foster care, and patients with severe, rare, or intractable diseases.

Applications can be submitted from the 20th until March 24th by visiting the local town or township office with identification, a seal, and a bankbook. The 50,000 KRW heating cost will be sequentially paid into the account listed on the application form during March.
