Support recipients will be selected and notified in February.

Applicants can apply by visiting the administrative welfare center at their registered residential address. Those who have previously received support under this or related agreement projects, or those who submit a surgery eligibility confirmation from a non-specialized hospital, are restricted from applying. Detailed information on required documents and application procedures can be found on the Paju City Hall website's news bulletin board.
