[Suwon Ilbo=Park No-hun Reporter] Gyeonggi Province announced on the 17th that it will accept applications for the Q2 'Youth Basic Income' through the 27th of this month.
Originally, the Q2 'Youth Basic Income' was scheduled to accept applications from June and distribute on July 20th. However, to provide swift support to youth and small business owners facing hardship due to COVID-19, the province is accelerating the schedule by approximately two months. Consequently, the distribution will begin on May 8th instead of July.
Applicants must have continuously resided in Gyeonggi Province for at least 3 years or have accumulated residency of at least 10 years, currently hold a resident registration in Gyeonggi Province, and be 24 years old (born between April 2, 1995 and April 1, 1996).
Eligible youth can apply online or via mobile after registering as a member on Gyeonggi Province's job platform Jobaba (apply.jobaba.net). Required documents include only a resident registration copy (issued after April 16th, including residential history from the last 5 years or complete address history). Youth who pre-applied to be automatically enrolled in the previous quarter will be reviewed without submitting a separate application.
After verifying applicants' age and residency period, the province plans to distribute 250,000 won in local currency for Q2 in the form of electronic cards or mobile wallet from the 8th of next month.
Those selected as distribution recipients will receive a confirmation message via text, and the card will be sent to the address entered during application. After receiving the card, users can register it through a customer service center and mobile app, then use it freely like a debit card at traditional markets and small business establishments within their residential district.
However, usage is restricted at department stores, large supermarkets, enterprise supermarkets (SSM), and entertainment establishments.
For more information, inquire with each city or county youth welfare department, the Gyeonggi Province Call Center (031-120), or the internet portal 'Jobaba'.
