Yeongju City Launches 'Visiting Consumption Coupon Application' Service for Elderly and Disabled Residents

Yeongju City, North Gyeongsang Province, announced on August 11 that it will operate a "visiting application service" from August 11 to 22 for residents with mobility difficulties, such as elderly people living alone and people with disabilities, to facilitate smooth applications for the "Livelihood Recovery Consumption Coupon" program.

Through this service, if elderly people or people with disabilities living alone, who have difficulty applying through a proxy, call their local administrative welfare center, an official will confirm their eligibility and then visit their home to process both the application and the issuance of consumption coupons at once. The city plans to actively support residents who face barriers to accessing information or transportation, ensuring they are not excluded from these benefits.

Yeongju City will continuously monitor the operation of the service and reflect on-site feedback to promote highly responsive public welfare administration.

Yoo Junggeun, acting mayor of Yeongju City, stated, "Through the visiting application service, elderly people and vulnerable groups will be able to apply for and use consumption coupons more easily, which will also help the local economy," adding, "We will continue proactive administration to ensure that no citizen is left out from receiving consumption coupons."

On July 31, Acting Mayor Yoo personally visited a household in Hyocheon 2-dong with mobility difficulties to deliver consumption coupons and check on their health and housing conditions. He also continues to practice field-oriented welfare administration by checking in on elderly people living alone and listening to their concerns.
