Ganghwa County Provides Emergency Heating Subsidies to Vulnerable Groups

[Suwon Ilbo=Choi Ki-ho Reporter] Ganghwa County announced on the 14th that it will provide 100,000 won in heating subsidies to vulnerable groups facing difficulties due to prolonged cold waves and rising heating costs.

The county has swiftly secured approximately 370 million won from Incheon City's disaster relief fund to support vulnerable groups struggling with heating cost burdens, and will provide one-time assistance.

The beneficiaries consist of 3,792 households including basic livelihood recipients, Didimdol stable income recipients, and near-poor households. Eligibility requirements specify that households must be registered as recipients (before January 27, 2023) or near-poor households (before February 1, 2023), with households registered after these dates excluded from the subsidy.

Basic livelihood recipients and Didimdol stable income households will receive payments on the 15th, while near-poor households will receive payments on the 28th. Payments will be made to existing welfare benefit accounts without separate applications or registrations.
