Osan City Launches Visiting Service for Vulnerable Groups to Apply for Consumption Support Coupons

Application Assistance Provided Through Home Visits for the Elderly, People with Disabilities, and Welfare Facility Residents

On July 29, the city of Osan in Gyeonggi Province announced that it will operate a "visiting application service" until September 12 to ensure the smooth implementation of the "Livelihood Recovery Consumption Support Coupon" project.

This service is designed for residents who have difficulty visiting administrative welfare centers, such as the elderly, people with disabilities, and residents of welfare facilities. Designated staff will visit their homes to assist with the application process. The city will especially provide customized services for single-person households without family members to apply on their behalf, as well as for citizens with limited mobility.

The city has established dedicated "visiting application teams" at each neighborhood administrative welfare center, set up visit schedules for each area, and will prioritize identifying and assisting elderly people living alone and information-vulnerable groups. Eligible residents will receive advance phone calls to coordinate schedules and help them prepare for the application, minimizing inconvenience.

A city official stated, "Vulnerable groups are often excluded from support programs due to lack of information or mobility restrictions," and added, "Through the visiting service, we will make sure that not a single person misses out on the benefits by providing thorough support."
