Pyeongtaek City Implements "Door-to-Door Service" for Disaster Basic Income to Vulnerable Groups

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Pyeongtaek City will implement a "door-to-door service" targeting vulnerable groups through the end of this month to distribute the second round of Gyeonggi Province Disaster Basic Income.

The service targets those among 50,975 beneficiaries—including recipients of basic old-age pension, disability pension recipients, low-income single-parent families, and basic livelihood assistance recipients—who find online applications difficult and have mobility challenges.

The city plans to help them receive disaster basic income before and after the Lunar New Year holiday. It held a video conference with eup, myeon, and dong chiefs to ensure the door-to-door service proceeds smoothly. In particular, it emphasized taking full measures to prevent quarantine issues during rapid payment and the offline payment process.

Pyeongtaek Mayor Jung Jang-seon said, "We will swiftly distribute disaster basic income to vulnerable groups struggling amid the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic before the Lunar New Year so they can celebrate a warm holiday."
