Gangjin County to Provide 2 Million Won Congratulatory Payment to Young Married Couples

From Marriage Congratulations to Startups...
Supporting Every New Beginning

Gangjin County in Jeollanam-do (Governor Kang Jinwon) is providing a marriage congratulatory grant of 2 million won to young couples to help alleviate the initial economic burden of marriage.

The eligible recipients are couples who have both registered their marriage after July 1, 2023, and are both under the age of 49 as of the date of marriage registration. Both spouses must have had their address in Jeollanam-do for at least six months prior to the application date and must reside in Jeollanam-do from the application date until the grant is paid. In addition, at least one spouse must have an address and reside in Gangjin County.

Applications can be submitted from six months after the marriage registration date up to one year and six months after that date. However, if either spouse has previously received a marriage congratulatory grant, the couple is not eligible. Once selected as recipients, the 2 million won grant will be paid in a lump sum on the 10th of the month following the application month.

To apply, prepare the required documents: the Young Couple Marriage Congratulatory Grant Application Form, Consent Form for Collection, Provision, and Use of Personal Information, a copy of the Resident Registration for each spouse, a copy of the Marriage Certificate for each spouse, and a copy of the bankbook. Submit these at the local town or township office corresponding to your registered address.

Governor Kang Jinwon stated, "As the decline in the youth population and aging are accelerating, policies to attract outside population are urgently needed," and added, "We will actively support young people facing economic difficulties so they can settle down stably in various ways."

Last year, the county provided marriage congratulatory grants to 59 young couples. In addition, it is supporting the independence and settlement of young people in the region through various policies such as housing cost support, job incentives, and startup support programs.
