Reporter Kwon Ae-ri's friendly economic time.
Reporter Kwon, the 4th supplementary bill passed the National Assembly yesterday (22nd), but are there any changes in the process of passing the National Assembly?
<Reporter>
Yes.
This second Corona grant last week, I gave a guide to the size of the recipients in the order of magnitude, and there have been some points on the government's plan to pay this support fund.
The final draft, which passed the National Assembly last night, has changed a number of targets for support, taking into account the points that have been made so far.
From tomorrow, subsidies will be sent out one after another. If we look at the target that has changed who can receive it, and the schedule that began to come out concretely, today, the communication cost of 20,000 won, which was said to be paid to all citizens over the age of 13, has greatly decreased. .
Selective applications are available only to young people aged 16 to 34 and seniors aged 65 or older.
Originally, the budget that was set up to support communication expenses for the whole nation is 930 billion won.
With this change, more than 520 billion won can be spent on other support.
The method of receiving the communication fee is the same as the original plan.
You do not need to apply separately, and if you are eligible, the fee for September this month will be automatically deducted next month.
<Anchor>
So, it's kind of expressing that this is what remains, but where did you decide to spend 520 billion won?
<Reporter>
There were one items that were not in the original plan.
First, the number of people who can get the flu vaccine for free has increased by an additional 1.05 million.
Originally, about 19 million people were eligible for free vaccination, including senior citizens over 62 years old, children under 18 years old, and pregnant women.
It was added to allow free vaccinations for 700,000 people who are eligible for medical benefits, and 350,000 people who are eligible for pension benefits for the disabled, who are not of that age group but are receiving medical expenses from the country.
Vaccination has been temporarily suspended due to a problem with the distribution process of the flu vaccine that the health authorities provided for free vaccination.
When the new schedule comes out, new vaccination information will be available to the newly added free vaccination candidates.
Youth allowance was also made.
The original plan was to give 200,000 won in cash to 5.32 million children up to elementary school only, but it was decided to include middle school students in the name of supporting non-face-to-face learning.
However, only 200,000 won is paid for elementary school students and 150,000 won for middle school students.
Elementary school students and preschoolers do not need a separate application as originally planned.
Children's allowance accounts for preschoolers and school banking accounts for elementary school students. All 200,000 won in cash will come in next Monday and Tuesday.
Like homeschooling children, elementary-age out-of-school children will be able to apply within the next month by making a separate application to the local government.
The 150,000 won received by junior high school students or youths of that age is paid until the next month or early October after obtaining consent from the target audience.
<Anchor> If
possible, the government is in a hurry to provide support for small business owners before Chuseok?
<Reporter>
Yes.
The focus of this supplementary plan is to support small business owners and self-employed people.
In particular, when implementing step 2.5 in the metropolitan area, we plan to pay 2 million won to stores that were not open at all,
but entertainment pubs and Collate were excluded from support in the initial plan.
Yesterday I switched to the one included in the National Assembly
The same goes for 2 million won in entertainment bars and ballrooms in the metropolitan area that were not open.
And although business was not banned, stores that were restricted in business like restaurants that closed after 9 p.m. will receive 1.5 million won. One million won is set for small business owners whose sales have decreased by just a small amount after re-proliferation.
Starting tomorrow, these small business owners will start applying online.
No separate document submission is required.
The government confirms the decrease in sales with administrative information such as data from the National Tax Service, and starts paying support money the day after tomorrow.
Stores that have been established this year or where it is difficult for the government to confirm a decrease in sales will be checked through the Small Business Corporation and local governments and subsidized.
Another thing, private taxis are a kind of self-employed person.
If only a decrease in sales proves, you can get this small business grant.
However, corporate taxis classified as workers were not included in the initial support plan.
This corporate taxi also decided to give 1 million won equally if it proves to have a decrease in income.
The number of eligible corporate taxi drivers is about 90,000 as of June. We plan to apply after checking the length of time we worked as a corporate taxi driver and whether sales have actually decreased.
