Gyeonggi Province Youth Basic Income: Fourth-Quarter Applications Open from November 1... 250,000 Won Distributed Per Quarter

[Suwon Ilbo=Park No-hun Reporter] Gyeonggi Province will accept applications for the fourth-quarter 'Youth Basic Income' program from November 1 to November 30, distributing 250,000 won per quarter to 24-year-old youth.

Applicants must, as of the application date, have continuously resided in Gyeonggi Province for 3 years or longer, or have accumulated 10 years of total residence days, and currently be registered as residents of Gyeonggi Province. They must have been born between October 2, 1996 and October 1, 1997.

Eligible youth can apply online or via mobile after registering on the Gyeonggi Province Job Platform Jobaba (apply.jobaba.net).

Required documents include a resident registration abstract (issued after November 1, covering the last 5 years or complete address history).

Since the second quarter, a public MyData service has been introduced to simplify document submissions. If the applicant consents, they may forego submitting the resident registration abstract.

The MyData service is a system where personal information held by public institutions is stored on the applicant's smartphone or cloud rather than a central server, allowing the information subject to view their data at any time and provide it to institutions.

Existing recipients who previously consented to automatic reapplication will be reviewed without separate application.

However, if there are changes to personal information or retroactive applications for the first through third quarters of this year are desired, information must be updated within the application period.

After verifying applicants' age and residence duration, the Province will distribute 250,000 won in local currency for the fourth quarter starting December 20 in the form of an electronic card or mobile format.

Those selected as payment recipients will receive a confirmation text message, and a card will be delivered to the address entered at application.

After receiving the card, registering it through the customer service center or mobile app allows use like a check card at traditional markets or small businesses within the residential area.

However, use is restricted at department stores, large supermarkets, large-format supermarkets (SSM), entertainment establishments, and similar venues.
