In addition, welfare policies aimed at improving residents' quality of life, such as the relaxation of the support obligation criteria under the Seoul-type Basic Livelihood Security System, expansion of basic pension support targets, and extension of basic benefit payment targets for disabled pensions, will be applied more broadly than last year.

Detailed information on "2021 Changes Like This" can be easily checked by anyone on the Dongdaemun-gu Office website, at the district office's comprehensive civil service center, and at local community service centers.
