Youth in Uijeongbu can apply for the Youth Basic Income by using the online Jobaba system until the 29th.

The payment format remains the same as before, using Uijeongbu City local currency, with up to 1,000,000 KRW per person paid in installments of 250,000 KRW per quarter, scheduled to be paid on December 20.

Eligible applicants are those born between October 2, 1999, and October 1, 2000. Applications can be made retroactively for support funds not received during the 1st to 3rd quarters. In particular, those born between October 2, 1999, and January 1, 2000, must apply retroactively in this last eligible quarter to receive the full 1,000,000 KRW.

For those born between January 2, 1999, and October 1, 1999, whose application period has already ended, no separate applications will be accepted; payments will be made automatically if there is an application history from 2023.

Details regarding this Youth Basic Income Project are currently under budget review by Gyeonggi Province and the city, and may change depending on the review results.

Mayor Kim Dong-geun said, “I hope the hearts of the youth hurt by the suspension of the previous Youth Basic Income Project will be healed,” and added, “Uijeongbu City will continue to do its best to promote youth social activities and guarantee their basic social rights.”
