To receive support, applicants must prove their unemployed status through documents such as a health insurance qualification certificate and a certificate verifying business registration status. By submitting supporting documents and payment receipts on the Incheon Youth Portal, each district office will review the documents and disburse the funds on the 20th of the following month.

This project started in 2023 reflecting the demands of youth, and among the 17 metropolitan cities and provinces nationwide, Incheon City was the first to implement it.

An official from Incheon City stated, "Youth living in Incheon can freely receive exam fee support up to 100,000 KRW annually regardless of the number of exam attempts," he/she said.
