3 trillion won of the 558 trillion won in next year’s budget is allocated for disaster support
“Why are you talking to only 3 trillion won … the government has already started reviewing”

On the 17th, Kim Sang-jo, head of the Blue House Policy Office, announced that he is reviewing a selective payment method that is paid to victims of victims rather than a universal payment method that is paid to all citizens for the third disaster emergency support fund after the third coronavirus pandemic. The government has arranged for 3 trillion won to pay for disaster grants in next year’s budget, but suggested that the third disaster grant could be scaled up.

Chief Kim replied: “There are not so many countries that say universal payment is the most effective” to a question about the third method of disaster subsidy payment on MBC Radio’s ‘Kim Jong-bae’s attention’. He also said: “Basically, we have a basic judgment that it is efficient and fair to apply the broadest support to those who have suffered the most damage.” The party government has decided to pay selectively for the third disaster support fund, but Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myung is urging universal payment.

In addition, the Democratic Party accepted the public’s claim to reflect next year’s budget for the rapid payment of the third disaster grant, and organized 3 trillion won out of the total budget of 558 trillion won for the purpose of disaster relief. . Kim explained that the scale of the third disaster grant could exceed 3 trillion won.

“Why are you talking with only 3 trillion won?” Kim said, “not everything is used for this purpose, but the purpose reserve is 7 trillion won, the general reserve is 1.6 trillion won. The reserve alone is 8.6 trillion won. ” He said, “A significant part (of next year’s budget) of 558 trillion won is for the response of the crown,” he said. “With general consideration, the government has already started to review it.”

Regarding the time of payment, he replied “as soon as possible” Kim said: “After the stabilization of the quarantine is achieved, we must verify the total amount of damage to perform the (payment) methods.” When the moderator said, “I understand that paying at the end of January is not a big problem,” Kim said, “Korea is the fastest country in the world to pay.”
