[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Changwon City, Gyeongnam announced on the 6th that it will promote a temporary livelihood support project targeting low-income crisis households that do not receive benefits from existing welfare systems or COVID-19 damage support programs.

The support target is low-income households that have experienced a crisis such as income reduction but have not received COVID-19 damage support.

The target households are those whose total household income is 75% or less of the median income standard (4-person household, 3,657,218 KRW) and whose property is 350 million KRW or less, and whose current income (January to May 2021) has decreased. Applications can be made online or on-site at Eup, Myeon, and Dong offices. Online applications can be accessed via Bokjiro or mobile.

The application period is from the 10th to 28th until 22:00, and only the head of the household can apply. Online applications operate on an odd-even system based on the last digit of the household head’s birth year.

On-site applications can be made from the 17th to June 4th until 18:00 (weekends not available) at the resident registration offices in Eup, Myeon, and Dong administrative welfare centers by the household head, household members of the same household, or a proxy. Proof of income reduction is documentation that confirms a decrease in recent income (January to May 2021) compared to 2019 and 2020.

After reviewing the applicant’s proof of income reduction along with income and property investigations through the public system and confirming whether there is any overlap with disaster relief funds, 500,000 KRW will be deposited once per household into the application account in June.
