Mayor Kim Sang-don of Uiwang City Inspects On-Site Emergency Disaster Relief Payment Application Reception

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Mayor Kim Sang-don of Uiwang City visited the government emergency disaster relief payment on-site application reception on the 20th to inspect the scene and encourage working staff members.

The government emergency disaster relief payment is distributed on a differential basis according to household units and household members, and currently applications can be made both online and offline. Since the 18th, applications have been available at local community centers using the Uiwang Love Gift Card, a regional currency. For check and credit cards, one can visit banks linked to each card company.

However, to prevent confusion during reception, offline applications operate on a designated day-of-the-week system.

In accordance with the purpose of stimulating the local economy, the Uiwang Love Gift Card can only be used within Uiwang City. Credit and check cards can be used throughout Gyeonggi Province, but caution is advised in using emergency disaster relief payments due to restrictions on usage categories and usage deadlines (until August 31).

Mayor Kim Sang-don said, "Following Gyeonggi Province and Uiwang City's disaster basic income, the government's emergency disaster relief payment is expected to greatly contribute to residents' living stability and local economic vitalization," and added, "The city will make every effort to ensure swift application and payment of the emergency disaster relief fund."
