The name “livelihood recovery consumption coupon” may make it appear that all residents will receive it in the same way.
However, for Naju City’s support payment, you must check the address requirements, application period, eligible merchants, and usage deadline together.
More important than the amount of 20만원 per person are the actual eligibility requirements and the conditions for using it within the region.
3-Line Summary
1. Naju City will provide 20만원 per person
2. Applications are accepted from September 14 through October 16
3. The address requirements and eligible merchants must be checked together
You must have been registered as a resident of Naju since July 1
Naju City announced that it will provide a livelihood recovery support payment of 20만원 per person. The relevant budget was finalized through Naju City’s second supplementary budget, and the city identified approximately 11만7천 people as eligible for support. This support payment is a local program implemented by Naju City.
The most important phrase in determining eligibility is citizens who have continuously maintained resident registration in Naju City. According to Naju City’s announcement, citizens who continuously maintained resident registration in Naju City from July 1, 2026, through the application date are eligible. To receive the support payment, it is necessary to check not only the address at the time of application but also whether resident registration continued after this 기준 date.
Marriage immigrants and permanent residents are also included. However, separate from their inclusion, the resident-registration standard established by the support ordinance applies unchanged. Eligibility for the support payment is something to check before considering the payment amount of 20만원.
Naju City explained that it prepared this support measure to ease household burdens caused by high prices and an economic slowdown and to invigorate neighborhood businesses. The expectation that the support payment will stimulate local consumption and lead to sales for small-business owners and self-employed people represents Naju City’s expectations and plans. The extent of its actual impact cannot be confirmed based only on the information provided.
Applications begin September 14; a five-day system applies during the first week
The application period is September 14 through October 16. There are two application methods: apply online or visit the administrative welfare center in your eup, myeon, or dong of residence. Although the support payment can be applied for online, in-person application counters will also operate.
Naju City also announced that it will operate a 찾아가는 application service for citizens who have difficulty moving around or applying in person. If applying is difficult, rather than giving up after considering only the online and in-person methods, it is necessary to check whether this service is available.
During the first week, when applications are expected to be concentrated—September 14 through 18—a five-day system based on the final digit of the applicant’s birth year will apply. During this period, applicants must apply on the date corresponding to the final digit of their birth year. Starting September 21, anyone eligible for the payment may apply regardless of their birth year.
The first week’s five-day system does not determine eligibility for the support payment itself. It is an operating method intended to reduce congestion at the beginning of the application period. Therefore, even if eligible applicants cannot apply on the date assigned during the first week, they may apply again during the application period after the 21st. Conversely, they must not go past the application deadline of October 16, even after the 21st.
The support payment will be provided by prepaid card or mobile Naju Sarang gift certificate (CHAK). Which of the two methods to choose must be confirmed during the application process, but the places where it can be used after payment are restricted for the purpose of local consumption. Treating it as support money deposited into an account like cash may cause confusion at the usage stage.
Merchants with annual sales of 30억원 or less are the rule; November 30 is the deadline
This support payment is not money that can be used at every card merchant. Eligible places are credit-card-affiliated merchants with annual sales of 30억원 or less and Naju Sarang gift-certificate-affiliated merchants. Whether the store where you intend to pay is affiliated with Naju Sarang or is a credit-card-affiliated merchant meeting the sales standard determines whether it can actually be used.
Exceptions are also specified. To facilitate use by residents of myeon areas, the support payment may be used at myeon-level Hanaro Marts and public local-food direct stores regardless of sales volume. This is an exception concerning the myeon-level facilities listed in the material. It cannot be broadly interpreted as applying to every Hanaro Mart or every local-food store.
The usage deadline is November 30. Any remaining balance expires if it is not used by that date. Completing the application does not mean that 20만원 can be used at any time. Even after receiving the prepaid card or mobile gift certificate, restrictions on eligible merchants and the deadline remain.
The order for checking Naju’s support payment this time is relatively clear. First, check whether you meet the resident-registration requirement that has continued since July 1, then confirm the application period and whether the first-week five-day system applies. After receiving the payment, you must check both whether the store you plan to use is an approved merchant and the November 30 usage deadline.
