The application rate on the first day of 36.5% is 7 percentage points higher than the application rate on the first day when the new desired fund (second disaster support fund) was paid.
The Ministry of SMEs explained, “This is because the amount of support has increased and interest has increased, and I have become accustomed to receiving online applications.”
On this day, the second day of reception, a text message was sent to 1.33 million small business owners with an even number at the end of their business registration number from 6 am.
As with the first day, applications until noon are paid from 2pm on the same day, and applications from noon to midnight on the 13th from 3am.
On the 13th, you can apply online without discriminating the last digits of your business registration number.
If you apply in the morning until the 13th, you can receive it in the afternoon. From the 14th, the application will be collected from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and paid out from 3 a.m. the next day.
The previous day, there were 15,367 cases in the call center for inquiries related to the support fund, and 46,000 cases in online chat counseling.
Due to the nature of captchas that are sent at 150,000 per hour, it took more than 9 hours to send 1.43 million the previous day, the ministry said.
Information text messages will be sent to outdoor winter sports facilities, subsidiaries, and accommodation facilities on the 25th.

Mid-term Minister Park Young-sun said, “On the second day, we are sending text messages two hours ahead of yesterday so that small business owners can receive them a little bit faster. We can receive funds in three hours after application.
