online applications for emergency disaster relief funds continue, some people find it difficult to use even after receiving the money. As of March 29th, Emergency Disaster Assistance can only be used in metropolitan cities and provinces where the head of household is addressed. So, after March 29th, people who have moved to another area have to go to the place where they used to live and spend their money. If you lived in Seoul and moved to Jeju Island, it means you have to go back to Seoul to spend your money. It is expected that these people will be close to 200,000 on average per month.

Mr. A, a 40-year-old living in Seoul, is a 5-person household and receives an emergency disaster aid of 1 million won, but he is worried about how to use it.

This is because disaster relief cannot be used in Jeju Island, which is moving next week.

[Mr. A / Seoul → Jeju Island to move: It is not available in Jeju, but in Seoul, it is necessary to use (emergency disaster relief)… If you check everything at the resident center, everything is impossible ... ]

Emergency Disaster Assistance also includes the purpose of saving the local economy, so it should be used only in metropolitan cities and provinces where the address was registered on March 29.

In the end, if you don't run out of emergency funds before you move out of the 1 million won mark, you will have to come to Seoul from Jeju Island to spend it.


People who have moved far away 11 days before starting the application for funding are more concerned.

[Mr. B / April Seoul → Busan Director: You have to go 9 hours round trip and go there (Seoul) and write it yourself. Now, of course, it will cost transportation. .]

Last year, the average number of people who moved in and out of metropolitan cities and provinces was about 200,000 per month.

For this reason, following the appearance of the related Blue House petition, the head of the local government also pointed out the problem.

[Governor Won Hee-ryong / Governor of Jeju Island: The official recommendation is to abolish restrictions on the use of emergency disaster relief funds.] The

Ministry of Public Administration and Security said it was seeking a solution.

However, we are struggling because it is not easy to reflect the changes caused by the population moving in between metropolitan and provincial areas in a situation where some of the subsidies are shared by each local government.
