<Anchor> The

government decided to give 1.5 million won to those who are not protected by employment insurance. However, not many people actually received the grant that they would give within two weeks of application, but the government's payment rate was only 22%.

This is Han Se-hyun.

<Reporter> It

was difficult to apply for employment security support.

[Applicants for Employment Security Assistance: No phone connection for 2 hours, only talking on the phone… .] We

started accepting applications on the 1st of last month, and already received 1,350,000.

A week remains until the deadline for filing, but the government has surpassed the estimated 11.4 million people as it planned the third supplementary plan.

Applicants who were in a hurry rolled their feet, but payments were slow.

Rarely has the word'emergency assistance' been overshadowed by the complex evidence of income or sales decline.

[30s Special Employment Job: It's like a hole shop. I told the people that it was urgent, and the work is not urgent at all.] From the

minister, I apologized that all employees of the Ministry of Employment and Labor would hang.

[Lee Jae-gap/Ministry of Employment and Labor (29th of last month): As a minister of the Ministry of Commerce, I would like to focus on the competence of all ministries so that all employees of the headquarters and local governments, including me, can apply in the early days.]

The Ministry of Employment released today (13th) the status of the employment stabilization subsidy payments, which had been held privately.

Although it speeded up processing, the actual payment amounted to only 22.2% of the budget set at KRW 330 billion.

The government explained that there was a delay in the process of screening the ineligible.

In addition, he said that investigations have been initiated as reports of illegal supply and demand have been made, such as forgery or intentional omission of supporting documents.
