Gyeonggi Province to Provide Up to 2.5 Million Won in Support for Jeonse Fraud Victims, Including Relocation Expenses

The Gyeonggi Provincial Government will provide a total of 2.5 million won in support to victims of jeonse fraud, covering moving expenses and emergency living expenses.

On January 12, the Gyeonggi Provincial Government announced that, among jeonse fraud victims, those eligible for emergency housing support who move to a new residence will receive up to 1.5 million won per household for relocation expenses. In addition, households affected by jeonse fraud will be given 1 million won each in emergency living expenses to help stabilize their daily lives. Both forms of support are provided only once in a lifetime.

However, if an applicant is already receiving government or Gyeonggi Provincial emergency welfare support under the Emergency Welfare Support Act, they cannot receive overlapping emergency living expense support.

Kim Taesu, Director of the Housing Policy Division at the Gyeonggi Provincial Government, stated, "Jeonse fraud is a social disaster that goes beyond an individual's problem, so it is the province's role to provide a minimum safety net for victims to get back on their feet. We will offer comprehensive housing welfare services that residents can truly feel."

Meanwhile, the Gyeonggi Jeonse Fraud Support Center, which opened in March 2023 and is the largest among local governments nationwide, provides services such as: ▲ receiving and counseling jeonse fraud victims ▲ providing emergency living expense support (1 million won per household), emergency housing support, and relocation expense support (1.5 million won per household) for victims ▲ and emergency management of properties affected by jeonse fraud.
