Reporter Kwon Aeri, a friendly economist, is on Tuesday. Reporter Kwon's Emergency Disaster Grants, based on the bottom 70% of income, I get unconditionally, or I don't, I don't care about these, but I'm a little confused, I think there are quite a few of these. Isn't the standard exactly what it is now?

<Reporter>

Yes, 70% of the total population, 14 million households, 4 million households will be paid one million won, only this has been decided. For now. Will my house fit in this 14 million households?

For example, a 3 person household would receive 800,000 won, and a 4 person household would receive 1 million won, but some governments said yesterday (30 days) that this is similar to the bottom 70%.

It is about 581 million won for 3-person households and 7.12 million won for 4-person households on a monthly basis. But this income is a rather complicated concept, it is based on the median income.

It's not just the number I earn every month, business income, rent income, etc. It is the 'income recognition amount' that reflects the size of my assets.

So, "I'm the head of a family of four with two children, and my salary is about 6 million won, so my house will be included." If you think right away, it may not be. If I have some real estate. Then you may not be able to enter the receiving house.

In addition to the monthly salary, it is the amount calculated by converting the property value of real estate, deposits, and cars that I have, and it is equivalent to a family of four, which is about 7.27 million won per month. It is before tax.

This is the income standard that governments usually use to calculate how much and what kind of welfare allowance they should give.

As of 2018, the amount of money we saw together is exactly the lower 70.9% of the total population. In order to apply the 'low income 70%' right now, a new standard is needed.

Yes. So, to find out how much the income is, then you can check out the monthly health insurance premiums.

<Reporter>

Yes. Health insurance premiums are based on the sum of my income for job applicants and property and income for local subscribers.

Looking at the bottom 70%, based on the households of 4 people, 237,000 won for job subscribers and 254,000 won for local subscribers.

However, it is difficult to guess "I'll get it" or "I can't get it" in advance as a basis for health insurance.

This is two standards now. It is not a standard to immediately know the bottom 70% of the entire workforce and region, that is, the whole people.

For example, I am a high-income, high-paid, 5th year employee. In fact, you may have very little property. However, such a person may be in the top 30% based on job subscribers.

So, if this person doesn't get it, he sees the top 35% of the local subscribers who have much more assets than him. You may be tempted.

In fact, to date, the government has never had to calculate the bottom 70% of all people's income in order to give welfare benefits. So, we really need to create a new standard itself.

I'm getting into a labyrinth more and more, but there is a government-run site where you can get a rough approximation of this income tax?

<Reporter>

Yes. This is a site called 'Welfare Road' operated by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Even if you type 'welfare road' in a portal search box in Korean, it will appear immediately.

As rumors spread that you can see the criteria for disaster aid here, it's very difficult to get in as you've seen since yesterday.

By the way, even if you enter, you can only estimate my income estimates and it is an estimate.

And at the moment, it's definitively unknown where I am among the people of the whole country, and it's likely that the amount of income that I'm looking at here is not a standard for receiving the grant.

In order to find out the bottom 70% of the entire population with the amount of income earned, as it is impossible to calculate based on this year, which started to be affected by corona19, it is now expected Because it can be heard much more than.

Because this is literally a disaster aid, it is important not to miss the timeliness that the people should receive.

In the near future, the government has to prepare a new standard that appropriately takes into account income and assets, and then, after passing up the bill to the National Assembly to cover the lower 70% of the people and requesting the necessary money based on that standard, it is necessary to make a plan to the point where the actual money goes out.

It is the government's task to find the best place to balance the best of timeliness and fairness.
