Eligible recipients are children who, as of the application date, have been registered as residents and have actually lived in Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province with either their father or mother for the past 12 months. However, the guardian and the child must have the same registered address. Children who are admitted to facilities, those using childcare facilities in other cities or provinces, and those who have stayed abroad for more than 90 days are excluded from eligibility.

The allowance amount varies depending on the child's age: 500,000 won per month for ages 12 to 47 months, 300,000 won per month for ages 48 to 71 months, and 100,000 won per month for ages 72 to 95 months.

To apply for the allowance, visit the administrative welfare center in your area of residence or check the Gangwon Benefit Easy website. Even if the application is submitted late, up to three months of retroactive payments can be received based on the application date.
