Benefits You Didn't Receive Because You Didn't Know, Government Informs Through 'App'
'Hyetaek Alimi' Service to Be Ready Within the Year
Proactive Recommendations via Private Apps Without Separate Sign-Up
From now on, the inconvenience of citizens missing out on various government benefits due to lack of awareness or having to individually check which benefits they are eligible for will be greatly improved.
The Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced on the 11th that it plans to prepare the '(tentative name) Benefit Notifier' service within this year, which proactively finds and informs citizens of public services they can receive, and will provide it through private apps frequently used by the public.
The '(tentative name) Benefit Notifier' differentiates itself from existing services by proactively recommending benefits through private apps commonly used by citizens without requiring users to sign up on a separate website. The Ministry expects it to be more convenient to use than 'Subsidy24,' which can be accessed by logging into the 'Government24' website.
The '(tentative name) Benefit Notifier' service is provided through procedures such as ▲ identifying changes in the user's situation by utilizing personal information held by administrative and public institutions with the citizen's consent, ▲ analyzing eligibility criteria for related public services, and ▲ offering customized recommendations for public services that the user is likely to receive. This year, about 500 government and local government public services with high effectiveness in customized recommendations will be prioritized, and a pilot service will be launched from the end of this year.
