Assemblyman Jeon Seung-il Contributes to Enhancing Residents' Welfare through Administrative Procedure Improvements

Jeon Seung-il, a member of the Gwangju Seo-gu Council, announced on the 26th at the 3rd Social and Urban Committee meeting of the 313th extraordinary session that the number of recipients benefiting from the childbirth support fund for disabled families has increased since the amendment of the "Ordinance on the Payment of Childbirth Support Fund for Disabled Families."

Support for the childbirth fund for disabled families was limited to 3 cases and 3 million KRW as of last year.

However, following the ordinance amendment in March this year, which removed the gender-based differential payment clause and partially changed the integrated childbirth service application form (hereinafter referred to as the form), 4 cases totaling 3.7 million KRW were paid in the first half of the year (January to June) alone.

Councilor Jeon said, "We only added one line for the application item on the form so that the childbirth support fund for disabled families can be applied for simultaneously with the birth registration, but the number of residents receiving welfare benefits has increased," adding, "We will continue to carefully review even the most basic matters so that more residents can benefit."

He also added, "Although many ordinances are enacted and amended within the district, many residents are unaware of them. There is a need to improve policies so that residents can easily access and benefit from them, along with continuous promotion to the district residents."

Meanwhile, Councilor Jeon has won two awards for outstanding ordinances, and notably, in June, he was the only one among the five autonomous districts in Gwangju to receive the "Excellence Award in Legislative Activities" in the "2023 Local Assembly Awards" hosted by the Legal Journal.
