Suwon to Accept Applications for 'Customized Benefits' Under National Basic Livelihood Security through the 19th

Suwon will accept applications for 'Customized Benefits' under the National Basic Livelihood Security program through the 19th.

The Customized Benefits program is a system designed to address welfare blind spots by altering the selection criteria for each benefit type, moving away from the previous approach of providing all benefits to households below the minimum living standard.

The program is structured to allow basic livelihood security recipients to receive necessary benefits tailored to their individual circumstances, even if they exceed the selection criteria.

Additionally, for education benefits, the criteria have been significantly relaxed, including the abolition of the family support obligation standard.

Applicants include all households below the minimum guaranteed level requiring state support. Households previously excluded from basic livelihood security eligibility can also receive support if they meet the selection criteria by benefit type and family support obligation standards.

For a four-member household, the selection criterion for livelihood benefits is an earned income level of 28% of the standard median income (4.22 million won), which is 1.18 million won. For medical benefits, it is 40% (1.69 million won); for housing benefits, 43% (1.82 million won); and for education benefits, 50% (2.11 million won) or less.
