Gyeonggi Province Extends Application Deadline for Government Solidarity Citizen Support Fund Objection Cases to December 10

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hun] Gyeonggi Province has announced that it will extend the application deadline for the third Gyeonggi Disaster Basic Income from the originally scheduled October 29 to December 10 to ensure that households filing objections to the government's Solidarity Citizen Support Fund do not lose out on support payments if their objections are rejected.

The province said on the 26th that it decided to extend the Gyeonggi Disaster Basic Income application period in consideration of the government's objection filing and processing timeline.

Those who are not filing objections must complete their applications by October 29.

The government will accept objections by November 12 and announce results within three weeks. Accordingly, all decisions on whether objections are accepted or rejected are expected to be finalized by December 3.

As of the 19th, there were 24,911 objection cases filed. Of these, the government accepted 10,603 cases to receive the Solidarity Citizen Support Fund. 8,231 cases were rejected and 5,981 cases are under review. (96 cases involving deceased individuals remain unpaid)

Additionally, the province will apply the same extended deadline to existing Gyeonggi Disaster Basic Income applicants whose payments could not be made due to circumstances such as card service suspension.

The province plans to pay Gyeonggi Disaster Basic Income to households whose objections were denied.

However, online payment will not be available in these cases; instead, Gyeonggi Regional Currency Cards will be distributed in-person at municipal offices or eup/myeon/dong administrative offices. Even though the application deadline is extended, the usage period remains unchanged at December 31.

Meanwhile, those other than government Solidarity Citizen Support Fund objection filers and card company service suspension users must complete their applications by the 29th.

For online applications, users can apply from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. through the Gyeonggi Disaster Basic Income application website (basicincome.gg.go.kr), verify whether they are eligible, and select a card company to receive their Disaster Basic Income, which can then be used with a valid card from that company.

For in-person applications, users can visit the administrative welfare center in their eup/myeon/dong of residence from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays (weekend and holiday hours are operated at the discretion of each municipality) with their identification and receive or recharge a Gyeonggi Regional Currency Card available at the administrative welfare center on the day of application.
