Yongin City Provides Goods Worth 150,000 KRW to Families with Newborns

Yongin City will provide support items worth 150,000 KRW to families with newborns starting from April this year.

The city of Yongin in Gyeonggi Province will provide childbirth supplies worth 150,000 KRW to all families with newborns starting from the 3rd of next month.

Last year, Yongin City supported predetermined items worth 100,000 KRW. From this year, the support amount has been increased to 150,000 KRW, and families can directly choose the items they need.

The support is available to families who have registered the birth of their child with the city after January 1 of this year.

After registering the birth at the local eup, myeon, or dong administrative welfare center, families can submit the 'Childbirth Service Integrated Application Form' or apply online through the Government24 website.

Once the application is received and the beneficiary is registered, they can verify their identity on the 'Aijoayang Seollem Box' website and select items using points.

Families can freely choose from over 200 items such as swaddles, bibs, baby bottles, temperature and humidity meters, waterproof mats, cloth diapers, nail clippers, bath towels, baby detergent, hip seats, thermometers, bedding sets, car seats, and more. The selected items will be delivered within 3 to 5 days.

A city official stated, "Since the support method has changed this year to allow families to freely select the items they need, we hope this will provide practical help to families with newborns. We will continue to develop various childbirth support policies to create an environment conducive to having and raising children."

Meanwhile, to respond to low birth rates and assist families with childbirth and child-rearing, the city provides childbirth support funds of 300,000 KRW for the first child, 500,000 KRW for the second, 1,000,000 KRW for the third, 2,000,000 KRW for the fourth, and 3,000,000 KRW for the fifth child and beyond.

Additionally, a 'First Meeting Voucher' worth 2,000,000 KRW per newborn is provided in voucher form, and multi-child families receive an additional 100,000 KRW for transportation expenses.
