Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province (Governor Kim Jin-tae) announced on October 26 that the application deadline for the '2nd Livelihood Recovery Consumption Coupon,' which is being promoted to ease the financial burden on residents and revitalize the local economy, will close at 6:00 p.m. on October 31.

According to the province, as of 5:00 p.m. on October 24, a total of 1,365,834 applications for the 2nd consumption coupon, amounting to 136.6 billion won (96.4%), have been submitted and received. The usage period for both the 1st and 2nd consumption coupons is until November 30, and any unused balance after the deadline will be automatically forfeited.

With the application deadline approaching, the province is focusing its administrative resources on operating a 'visiting application service' to ensure that residents who have not yet applied do not miss out on the benefits.

In particular, for socially vulnerable groups such as the elderly and people with disabilities who have difficulty applying online or have limited mobility, responsible public officials visit their homes upon request from community centers to assist with completing the application and guide them through the process.

Kim Manho, Director of Economic Affairs at Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province, stated, "We strongly encourage residents who have not yet applied for the 2nd consumption coupon to do so before the deadline of 6:00 p.m. on October 31," adding, "The province will make every effort until the very end through the 'visiting application service' to ensure that as many residents as possible can benefit from the consumption coupons."
