Residence requirements are △both spouses must have lived in Jeollanam-do for more than 6 months after the marriage registration (excluding those who moved to other cities or provinces within the payment deadline) △at least one spouse must be a young couple with an address in Wando-gun.

This year, a total of 100 couples will be supported annually, and the congratulatory fund will be paid on the 10th of the month following the application month.

The county has decided to extend the application period to within 1 year and 6 months from 6 months after the marriage registration date for couples who missed the benefit due to the short application period.

To apply for the congratulatory fund, applicants must prepare the required documents and visit the town or township office of their registered address.

Jung In-ho, head of the Population and Job Policy Office, said, “In addition to the Newlywed Couple Marriage Congratulatory Fund, we are promoting projects such as interest support for newlywed housing loans, and we will continue to implement various policies to ensure housing stability for young couples.”

Meanwhile, last year, the county supported 146 million KRW for the Newlywed Couple Marriage Congratulatory Fund and 22 million KRW for interest on newlywed housing loans.
