Hapcheon County Begins Payment of 100,000 Won to All Residents for Livelihood Stabilization Support

Gyeongnam Residents Living Support Fund
Applications Open from April 30

Hapcheon County in South Gyeongsang Province has completed preparations for the payment of the "Gyeongnam Residents Living Support Fund" and will begin accepting applications from April 30, 2026.

The county announced that, in line with Gyeongsangnam-do's livelihood stabilization measures, which are being pursued independently from the central government's high oil price relief payments, it will commence the full-scale provision of support funds aimed at stabilizing residents' livelihoods.

This support fund will provide 100,000 won per person. Eligible recipients are residents who were registered in South Gyeongsang Province as of March 18, 2026. In Hapcheon County, the total number of eligible recipients is 39,382. The application period runs from April 30 to June 30, and applications can be submitted both online and offline.

Online applications can be made through a dedicated website. Applicants can choose to receive the payment in the form of a mobile-type Hapcheon Sarang Gift Certificate, a Nonghyup (NH) card (excluding BC Card), or a Gyeongnam Bank card (BC Card). For offline applications, residents can visit their local town or township office, and the payment will be provided as a prepaid card.

The support funds provided can be used until July 31, 2026. They can be spent at small business stores in Hapcheon County with annual sales of 3 billion won or less, Hapcheon Sarang Gift Certificate affiliated stores, and Hanaro Mart branches in township-level areas.

Notably, the mobile-type Hapcheon Sarang Gift Certificate can also be used on Gyeongnam's public delivery apps "Meokgaebi" and "Ddanggyeyo," which is expected to increase its utility.

To reduce initial congestion during the application process, the county will strengthen guidance on an odd-even and day-of-the-week application system and will focus administrative resources to ensure smooth payments.

Kim Pilseon, Head of the Employment and Economy Division at Hapcheon County, stated, "We hope that this support fund will help stabilize residents' lives and boost local consumption," adding, "We encourage everyone to apply within the application period and receive the benefits without omission."
