On the 4th, when the government began distributing emergency disaster relief funds in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, a citizen visiting a community center in Jongno-gu, Seoul, received a consultation. Priority recipients are 2.8 million households deemed in urgent need of support, such as those receiving existing livelihood benefits, basic pensions, or disability pensions, and the funds are provided in cash. Citizens not eligible for cash payments can choose to receive the support funds via credit/debit cards, paper/mobile/card regional gift certificates, or prepaid cards./Reporter Kim Hyun-min kimhyun81@
