Secondary support fund, personalized support plan based on degree of damage first
It is too short to check “how much sales have decreased”
Businesses that are suspended or restricted receive collective support regardless of sales
Excluding the self-employed ‘100 million won’ based on annual sales of 100 million won
In accordance with the quarantine guidelines, the ruling government party has made a clear decision to pay subsidies from the second disaster in a lump sum to closed or restricted companies.
However, in other cases, it is planned to select targets according to sales, so it seems inevitable that the fairness controversy over the detection support criteria is inevitable.
Reporter Song Jae-in’s report.
[기자]“We apply thicker to those who need it.”
As Democratic Party Representative Lee Nak-yeon has emphasized, this disaster support fund was planned to be ‘customized’ based on the extent of Corona 19’s damage, including the magnitude of the decline in sales.

In the end, if the harm is obvious, the leadership has shifted towards providing collective support for each industry regardless of grade.
These include high-risk businesses such as karaoke rooms and PC cafes that have been discontinued in accordance with the policy to strengthen social distancing, and businesses that are prohibited from eating indoors at night due to the application of 2.5 steps of distancing.
Additionally, we plan to support special jobs as teachers after school with the Emergency Job Stability Support Fund and support small businesses that went out of business amid the Corona 19 crisis to recover.
This takes into account backlash from screening support, such as administrative costs and concerns about blind spots during the targeting process.

For small business owners who are not directly affected by social distancing, this is because sales are the foundation of support.
We decided to use only the data we had already collected to identify small businesses with less than a certain amount of sales.

Above all, if the payment standard is set solely by sales, it is difficult to measure the damages of the self-employed, which inevitably leads to a controversy over equity.
For example, if you set annual sales of 100 million won or less as the supporting standard, you will not be eligible for subsidies if you generate 100 million won of sales.

However, since those who are excluded from the limit of any criteria are sure to come to light, there seems to be room for a controversy about fairness even after payment.
