Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon said that Seoul citizens can receive both the central government's emergency disaster support fund and the Seoul city's emergency cost of living at the same time and receive a maximum of 1.55 million won.

However, Seoul said that it is difficult to pay more to the Seoul Metropolitan Government when determining the ratio of the local government's share of emergency disaster assistance funds.

Mayor Park said during a regular briefing on Corona 19 on the 2nd, "We are getting inquiries about whether we can get both Seoul and the government support."

"For example, in the case of a five-person household, if you select the emergency cost of living in Seoul up to 500,000 won and Seoul Love Gift Certificate (to pay 10% more), you will receive 550,000 won, and the government will receive up to 1 million won in emergency disaster assistance to a total of 1.55 million won. "You will receive it."

Mayor Park said, "In accordance with the government's policy to support emergency disaster relief funds, Seoul City will provide additional financial resources of approximately 350 billion won based on the ratio of the government and local governments of 8: 2."

Previously, the Minister of Strategy and Finance Hong Nam-ki indicated that the rate of emergency disaster support funds may vary by municipality. Bar.

Mayor Park said, "I will do my best to raise funds through the second (Seoul Metropolitan City) additional correction (to raise 350 billion won)." I will also make the decision to cut one leg. I will also give up important projects that Seoul City is promoting. I will do it. "

When asked how he would respond to the government's demand for additional distribution, he said, "Seoul's finances are very difficult and tight. Nevertheless, the government has made a major announcement in response to the disaster, and Seoul has taken an additional 20% burden by actively accepting the government's position. I'm sure it will match. "

This means that there is no room for further increase in Seoul's share of the emergency disaster support fund from 8 to 2, as the financial burden is heavy, such as restructuring the fixed budget and carrying out one additional supplementary budget (or additional budget) that has already been established once. It is solved by drawing.

Mayor Park explained that Seoul is already paying for the emergency costs of disasters that the Seoul Metropolitan Government conducts through its first primary monitoring.

"From the 30th of last month to this morning, 14,269 people applied," he said. "In a disaster situation, promptness is also important. In three days of application, payments were made to a total of 25 people."
