[Suwon Ilbo=Park No-hun Reporter] Applications for Gyeonggi Province's disaster basic income, which provides all Gyeonggi residents 100,000 won per person in a one-time payment regardless of income or age, are now expanding to offline applications following online applications.
Gyeonggi Province announced on the 19th that starting from the 20th, it will begin accepting prepaid card applications for the Gyeonggi Province disaster basic income at 545 eup·myeon·dong administrative welfare centers, 216 Nonghyup branches, and 725 regional agricultural cooperatives throughout all 31 cities and counties in the province.
The Gyeonggi Province disaster basic income prepaid card is a payment method targeted at people who have difficulty using Gyeonggi regional currency cards or credit cards. Residents can use the card after receiving a usage authorization text message 2-3 days after the card application date.
To apply for the prepaid card, residents should visit the eup·myeon·dong administrative welfare center at their registered address or the nearest Nonghyup branch with an ID. When applying for a prepaid card, one family member can receive the card on behalf of other family members without a separate power of attorney. For proxy applications, personal information consent and power of attorney are included in the application form, so separate power of attorney or notarized seal certificates are not required. Anyone who fraudulently claims to be authorized and receives another family member's basic income will be subject to penalties for forgery, uttering, and fraud.
However, to avoid congestion that may occur during the prepaid card application process, Gyeonggi Province has divided the application period by household size and birth year, which residents must verify.
Accordingly, households with 4 or more members can apply during week 1 (4.20~4.26), 3-member households during week 2 (4.27~5.3), 2-member households during week 3 (5.4~5.10), and 1-member households or remaining households that have not applied by week 4 (5.11~5.17).
A mask day system is also applied, with designated application days according to the last digit of birth year. For example, Gyeonggi residents with 4 or more household members born in years ending in 1 and 6 can apply on Monday of week 1, while 3-member households born in years ending in 2 and 7 can apply on Tuesday of week 2.
Residents in the target group for that week who could not apply for the prepaid card can do so at eup·myeon·dong administrative welfare centers on Saturdays and Sundays. Administrative welfare centers accept applications until 8 p.m. on weekdays for office workers and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Nonghyup branches accept applications from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays. From May 18th onward, regardless of household size, residents can obtain the card at eup·myeon·dong administrative welfare centers or Nonghyup during regular business hours on weekdays.
By household, payment is consolidated on one prepaid card. For a 4-member household application, residents receive a prepaid card with 400,000 won loaded. A 5-member household can load up to 500,000 won, while households with 6 or more members must receive two cards. The province currently has a request pending with the government to adjust prepaid card usage limits to reduce this to one card, with system improvements in progress. This disaster basic income is a one-time payment with no additional charges possible. Residents should note that replacement is not available in case of loss.
Starting in mid-May, eup·myeon·dong administrative welfare centers plan to operate an outreach issuance service for vulnerable populations such as the elderly and people with disabilities.
