Daejeon City Prevents Fraudulent Social Security Benefits... "Reward for Reporting"

Daejeon City is taking measures to prevent fraudulent claims of social security benefits.

On the 21st, Daejeon City announced that it will operate a focused reporting period for fraudulent claims of social security benefits from the 26th of this month to the 25th of next month. During this period, reports can be made through the Ministry of Health and Welfare's Subsidy Misconduct Reporting Center, Daejeon City Hall, five district offices, and Dong Administrative Welfare Centers.

The reporting targets include basic livelihood security benefits, basic pensions, disability pensions and allowances, social welfare corporations and facility benefits, and fraudulent use of social service electronic vouchers.

If fraud is confirmed and recovery measures are imposed, the reporter will receive a reward within 30% of the recovered amount.

In addition to operating the focused reporting period, Daejeon City plans to prevent fraudulent claims in advance by securing and verifying public data such as changes in residence, household members, income, property, and support obligors of social security benefit recipients notified through the next-generation social security information system (Haengbok e-eum), and by inspecting the usage status of basic livelihood recipients who are mentally incompetent and unable to manage or use benefits.

Min Dong-hee, Director of the Welfare Bureau of Daejeon City, said, “We ask for the active public reporting of citizens so that welfare budgets can be fully used for beneficiaries,” and added, “We also hope that beneficiaries and facilities voluntarily report any changes.”
