For citizens, permanent residents, and marriage immigrants residing as of September 30th

(Gangneung = Yonhap News) Reporter Yoo Hyeong-jae = Gangneung City, Gangwon-do, will pay 100,000 won in livelihood stabilization support per citizen starting November 9.

Gangneung City announced on the 19th that it had announced a payment plan for the People's Livelihood Stability Support Fund, which includes payment plans such as the application period and targets for the People's Livelihood Stability Support Fund.

The Gangneung City People's Livelihood Stabilization Subsidy is provided to ease the economic burden of citizens suffering from economic recession and rising prices and to revitalize the local economy, including traditional markets and alleyways, by promoting consumption in the region.

As of September 30, 100,000 won per person will be paid to citizens, permanent residents, and marriage immigrants residing in Gangneung City.

Applications can be made through the online Gangneung Pay app or at the town/village/dong community center that has jurisdiction over the address on your resident registration.

Adults born before December 31, 2007 can apply individually and receive subsidies.

In principle, for minors, the head of the household on the resident registration table must apply and receive it, but as an exception, a minor householder without an adult member on the resident registration table can apply and receive it directly.

In the first week of application, to prevent congestion and system overload, a day system based on the last digit of the year of birth is applied to both online and offline applications.

The subsidy applied for with Gangneung Pay will be recharged the day after the application date and must be used by February 28th of next year. This support fund can only be used within Gangneung City to provide practical help to local small business owners with annual sales of less than 3 billion won.

If you pay with the Gangneung Pay card at the point of use, the livelihood stabilization support fund will be used before the general recharge.

Gangneung City also plans to operate a 'visit application' in which a person in charge of each town, township, or ward will personally visit the city to receive applications and provide subsidies for citizens who have difficulty applying in person, such as elderly people with limited mobility.

Vice Mayor Kim Man-ho said, "We will do our best to prepare so that citizens can receive subsidies without inconvenience starting November 9."
