Uiwang City Distributes Emergency Living Support to Low-Income Households

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Uiwang City announced on the 17th that it will provide emergency living support funds for four months to 2,894 households of basic livelihood security recipients and near-poor families struggling with their livelihoods due to COVID-19 in the form of Uiwang Love gift cards.

Payments will be distributed differentially according to benefit eligibility and household size: basic livelihood security recipients will receive 520,000 won for single-person households (1.4 million won for four-person households), and near-poor families will receive 400,000 won for single-person households (1.08 million won for four-person households).

Cards can be collected in early May without separate application by visiting the community center in your district of residence while wearing a mask and presenting an identification card.

For those with mobility difficulties such as elderly people and persons with disabilities who have difficulty visiting in person, the city plans to deliver the cards through various methods including home-visit welfare services tailored to individual circumstances.

Uiwang City Mayor Kim Sang-don said, "Through the emergency living support project, we will do our utmost to stabilize the livelihoods of vulnerable groups and invigorate the local economy for small business owners."
