From June 24, up to 1 million won in emergency living support will be provided to low-income families

From June 24, the government will provide emergency living support to 2.27 million low-income households.

According to the Ministry of Health and Welfare, this emergency living support for the low-income class will be provided to about ▲ 1.79 million households of national basic livelihood guarantees, and ▲ 480,000 single-parent households and lower-income families receiving support for child support.

Due to the low income, it is expected that multicultural families registered as recipients of national basic livelihood guarantees and as low-income family will also be able to benefit.

A maximum of 400,000 won will be provided to single-person households receiving livelihood and medical benefits, △ 650,000 won for two people, △ 830,000 won for three people, △ 1 million won for four people, △ 1.16 million won for five people, △ 1.31 million won for six people, and  △1.45 million won for seven-person households.

If you are eligible for the emergency living support, you can visit an eup, myeon, or dong community center and receive a prepaid card or a local currency card (excluding paper) without making a separate application.

The emergency living support is to be given once this year, and the support must be used all within this year.

It is paid in the form of a card for limited use in some industries and for follow-up management, but it is issued as a subsidy (cash) to the beneficiaries of livelihood security facilities.

The specific scope of restrictions on use may be partially different for each local government.

Local governments such as Busan, Daegu, and Sejong will pay from June 24, and Seoul, Daejeon, Ulsan, and Jeju will pay from June 27. The rest of the regions will also start applying within June.
