Gyeonggi-do Youth Basic Income Information Poster

Gyeonggi Province will begin accepting applications for the third quarter of the 'Youth Basic Income,' which provides 250,000 KRW quarterly to 24-year-old youth, starting September 1.

Eligible applicants are 24-year-old youth born between July 2, 1998, and July 1, 1999, who have continuously resided in Gyeonggi Province for at least three years as of the application date or whose total days of residence amount to 10 years or more, and who currently have their resident registration in Gyeonggi Province.

Applicants must register as members on the Gyeonggi job platform, Joba-ba, and then apply online or via mobile.

Required documents include a resident registration abstract (issued after September 1, including address history for the past five years or the entire period). However, since a public MyData service that simplifies document submission is being implemented, if the applicant consents during application, the resident registration abstract will be submitted automatically. Basic livelihood security recipients must separately submit a certificate of basic livelihood security recipient status.

Existing recipients who agreed to automatic application last quarter will be reviewed without a separate application, but if there are changes in personal information or if they wish to apply retroactively for the period from the fourth quarter of last year to the second quarter of this year, they must update their information within the third quarter application period.

After verifying the applicant's age and residence period, Gyeonggi Province will issue 250,000 KRW in local currency for the third quarter starting October 20, either in the form of an electronic card or mobile payment.

Selected recipients will receive a confirmation message via text, and the card will be delivered to the address provided during application.

Once the card is received, registering it through the customer center or mobile app allows immediate use like a check card at traditional markets or small business establishments within the registered area.

However, usage is restricted at department stores, large supermarkets, corporate supermarkets (SSM), entertainment establishments, and similar venues.

For more details, contact the youth basic income department of each city or county, the Gyeonggi Province call center (031-120), or the Gyeonggi job platform 'Joba-ba.'
