The government decided to distribute emergency disaster assistance funds based on health insurance premiums. If the health insurance premium paid in March of this year by a person who is a household member of a 4-person household is less than 237,000 won, you can receive 1 million won. The government explained that health insurance reasonably reflected the standard of living, and that most of the people were enrolled, so it was used as the selection criteria.

First, reporter Hwagang Yun will explain the detailed payment criteria.

The standard for screening the bottom 70% of income is the sum of the health insurance premiums' co-payments made by household members last month.

The standard for selection is based on the classification of household members, household members, and households with both work and local subscribers.

Based on the households of 4 people, if you have a work-member, you can get a disaster relief fund if you have 237,000 won if you only have a local member, 254,000 won if you only have a local member, or 242,000 won if you are a mixed household.

The reason for the health insurance premium is that relatively recent data can be used, and 97% of all citizens are enrolled in health insurance, so they can be screened without a separate investigation.

Disaster aid is paid on a household basis, and as of March 29th, people who are listed on the resident registration card will be seen as the same household.

The government's disaster aid can be received along with the consumption coupons, which are temporarily provided for the purpose of preserving low-income income.

It is possible to receive a supply and demand with the local government's individual support project, but it is the local government's specific judgment.

However, in order to resolve the issue of equity, even if it falls within the lower 70% of income, households with a lot of property, such as real estate and stocks, will soon set the standard and exclude it from payment.
