[Suwon Ilbo=Park No-hoon Reporter] The government emergency relief fund application rate in Gyeonggi Province has exceeded 50% within five days of accepting applications.
Following online applications and disbursements to credit and debit cardholders that began on the 11th, offline on-site applications will start on the 18th at banks and eup/myeon/dong administrative welfare centers in each city and county.
According to Gyeonggi Province on the 17th, 5.52 million households (3.273 trillion won) are eligible to receive government support funds, and as of 11 p.m. on the 15th, 3.09 million households (1.8342 trillion won) have applied, showing a 56% application rate.
By city and county, Suwon showed 62.4%, Hwaseong 60.5%, and Gimpo 59.8% in order.
The province will continue online applications while starting offline on-site applications from the 18th. The day-of-week system for online applications was removed as of the 16th, but the offline method will apply a day-of-week system to avoid congestion. On Monday, those with birth year endings of 1 or 6 can apply; Tuesday 2 and 7; Wednesday 3 and 8; Thursday 4 and 9; and Friday 5 and 0.
On weekends, on-site applications through banks are not available, and most cities and counties do not accept applications on weekends. However, some cities such as Bucheon, Anyang, Siheung, Namyangju, and Guri plan to operate on weekends.
To receive government emergency relief funds via credit or debit card, online applications are available through each card company's website. From the 18th, heads of households can visit banks directly to apply, and applications are also available at post offices, local agricultural cooperatives, Saemaul Geumgo, and credit unions.
From the 15th, ARS phone applications have also been made available so that digitally disadvantaged groups less familiar with the internet can apply for support funds more easily.
For regional currency, online applications are available in 23 cities and counties, and offline applications in 15 cities and counties. Since regional currency can only be used within specific cities and counties, it is recommended to check detailed information about usage venues through city and county websites before applying.
To receive funds via prepaid card, applicants can visit eup/myeon/dong administrative welfare centers, but the application start date may vary by city and county, and some cities and counties do not disburse government disaster relief funds via prepaid card, so it is necessary to verify in advance before visiting.
