Uiwang City Conducting Second-Half Social Security Benefits Verification Survey

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Uiwang City will conduct second-half social security benefits verification surveys from this month through the end of December.

The survey targets 1,160 households that reported changes among 11 social security programs including basic livelihood security, basic pension, disability pension, and single-parent families. The city plans to reflect data from 80 types of income and property information as well as financial asset inquiries.

For those whose eligibility changes (termination) or benefit amounts change (reduction), the city will notify them in advance and use the opinion hearing period to inform them of the verification survey purpose, reasons for termination, and methods for clarification.

Kang Su-young, head of the Welfare Policy Division, said, "Through the verification survey, we will prevent fraudulent receipt of benefits and prevent any leakage in welfare finances. We will guide those terminated to other welfare programs and provide assistance using community centers and private resources."
