We told you that the new computer system created by the Ministry of Health and Welfare had an error from the first day, but the problem has not been resolved yet.

Because of this, in some areas, some people may not be able to receive essential money such as basic living expenses on time from tomorrow (the 20th).



Reporter Han Seong-hee reported exclusively.

Mr. A, who is in charge of welfare at a district office in Seoul, has to pay various welfare subsidies to tens of thousands of vulnerable people tomorrow.



Since most of the money is transferred to a bank account, the correct amount must be paid to the correct recipient, but the government's next-generation social security information system, which will operate this until the day before, is in trouble.



[Seoul A-gu Office Welfare Officer: (Recipient) Moving in and out is not (understandable) at all now.

The button itself is not activated on the newly opened social security information network.]



4.49 million people nationwide will need to receive the welfare subsidy tomorrow.



There are 30 types of subsidies, including livelihood and housing benefits, single-parent subsidies, and youth subsidies.



The Ministry of Health and Welfare said it had corrected errors as much as possible after the opening of the new system on the 6th, but the story of local governments is completely different.



[Busan ○Gu Office Welfare Officer: We need to investigate income, property, or those who are obligated to support them.

Overall, the system is not working properly now.]



[Jeonju, Jeonju ○Gu Office Welfare Officer: (Tomorrow) People who left less will call for complaints saying they left less, and the people in charge are worried about the refund.]



If the amount of payment is small or there is no payment at all, the livelihood of low-income recipients will be threatened.



[Mr. Choi / Recipient of Basic Livelihood: When you come in at that time (the 20th of every month), you set the date according to the money so that you can withdraw your utility bills, cell phone bills, or card bills.

If it doesn't come out right, it's like everything is cut off...

On the 23rd, 7 types of social security benefits including basic pension and child allowance should be paid.



The Ministry of Health and Welfare is planning to provide payment within this month if possible to those who do not pay on time, and if overpayment is made, it will be recovered or deducted next month.
