Hello. This is Yoon Jong-in, Vice Minister of Public Administration and Security. From now on, I will explain the government’s progress in disaster emergencies and future plans. Since May 4, the government has paid in cash to approximately 2.86 million households in need of emergency assistance, and on Friday, May 8, it has paid approximately 1,300 billion won to 2,855,000 households, 99.7% of all homes. .
For the remaining 9,000 households that have not yet paid in cash, we plan to continually check and supplement them to finalize the cash payment quickly. On the other hand, since May 4, the Emergency Disaster Assistance Consultation Service has been opened and operated day by day, however, on May 9, the day-day system has been abolished and it can be seen anytime. In addition, we have expanded and reorganized the Emergency Disaster Assistance Consultation and Guidance Service to provide detailed information on information that people are curious about, such as where to use Emergency Disaster Assistance.
Next, I will talk about the application and use of credit card and check charges. The credit card and credit card application will start from 7 am on May 11 through the PC, the mobile home page and the credit card company application. The head of the family must request it on the resident registration card and you can receive it on the head of the family. To reduce app congestion, the government applies the same day-to-day system as the five-part mask in the first week of deployment, and can do so anytime starting Saturday, May 16.
When applied online, the authentication method has diversified to allow authentication of mobile phones or card numbers, as well as accredited certificates. In addition, from May 18, you can request a top-up by visiting the bank desk directly connected to the credit card company, in this case, if it is a linked bank, you can request it in any region. As previously announced, the amount collected must be used by August 31 to promote consumption in a difficult local economy, and the unused balance will be returned to state and local governments.
In accordance with the purpose of promoting emergency consumption, revitalizing the local economy and reviving alleys, there are some restrictions on the areas and industries available, but the methods of loading credit cards and checks are designed to be used by the public as much as possible.
Except for department stores, hypermarkets, online shopping malls and entertainment establishments, you can use it in the same way that you use your own card in most stores with credit card and check terminals. For franchises, such as convenience stores and bakeries, you can use emergency disaster relief funds at most stores that have registered businesses in the area.
Also, this time, the government has improved the following problems in the process of using credit cards and checks, since the local government implemented it for the first time as its own business. First, some companies have limited annual sales of more than 1 billion won, but the government’s disaster relief fund does not apply to these sales limits.
Furthermore, even in the area of use, metropolitan cities are not limited to city and city units, but can be used in units.
Also, when used in a restricted industry, it was notified by letter from the credit card company 2-3 days later, but the government’s emergency disaster support funds were notified by text message immediately to ensure they were used. the charges. On the other hand, there were some reports from the media that there were cases in which additional amounts were received in the name of fees, taxes, etc. when using credit cards and checks. This is clearly illegal and punishable under applicable law.
The government will respond strongly by establishing discriminatory and fraudulent transaction centers for each city and cooperating with related ministries and local governments. We ask for your cooperation in the spirit of solidarity and cooperation. The government has made many preparations for the payment of online credit card and check applications starting tomorrow, such as signing a memorandum of understanding with 9 card companies on May 8 and verifying the tying system.
Going forward, we will do our best to help people use information related to available industries and businesses, such as the card company home page and various channels. Everyone, I think that the credit card and check top-up methods that start tomorrow will be a convenient way to use a relatively wide range, considering the creditable areas and industries.
In particular, I would like to ask you to actively use online card loading from a distance point of view in your life.
As the disaster relief application process progresses, we will closely monitor all issues and keep you informed of any issues or concerns. Thank you
