① How much is the third disaster support fund paid to whom?
On the 29th, the government announced a customized damage countermeasure that paid 2 million won to small business owners with restricted business and 3 million won to prohibited businesses.
The government is planning to enter into the payment process through an announcement on the 6th, the next day after submitting and deciding on the’customized damage support measures in response to the third coronavirus outbreak’ at the Cabinet Meeting on January 5th next year.
On the 11th of the same month, a letter is sent to small business owners who are eligible to receive the 3rd Disaster Subsidy and then receive an online application.
The recipients are the small business owners who first received the second disaster subsidy, and 2.5 million specially damaged businesses who were banned or restricted from collectively.
Small business owners who received the 2nd disaster support fund will pay 1 million to 3 million won depending on the type of business when they apply for the 3rd disaster support fund.
300,000 new targets are expected to receive the support fund after reporting VAT on the 25th of the same month and following procedures such as business announcements.
In addition, on the 6th of the same month, the government will announce the emergency employment security subsidy for special type workers and freelancers to 650,000 people who have received the first and second disaster subsidies.
After sending a text message on the 6th to 8th, the application is received on the 6th to 11th. The policy is to start payment on the 11th to 15th and complete the payment before the Lunar New Year holiday.
② Small business owners in the restricted/prohibited industry, do not need to apply online separately?
Yes. The government said that small business owners in the prohibited and restricted businesses can receive support without a separate application.
Ando-geol, head of the Ministry of Strategy and Finance’s Budget Officer, appeared on MBC radio’Kim Jong-bae’s attention’ the day before and replied “yes” to the question,’For small business owners in a business that is prohibited from gathering or restricted from gathering, is it possible to support them even if they do not apply.’
It means that each local government has the data of the target company, so there is no need to apply separately.
③ Is it necessary for small business owners in general industry to apply separately?
General industries whose sales have decreased compared to before due to the Corona 19 pandemic are expected to undergo additional confirmation.
“The general industry should confirm that sales have decreased,” Ahn explained.
However, even in these cases, it is expected that the government will first use various taxation information and administrative information to select the target person in advance, send a notice that it is applicable, and receive the disaster support fund only by applying online.
