Cho Doo-soon and couple pass the qualification for basic living security
According to related organizations on the 2nd, Ansan City held the Livelihood Security Committee at the end of last month to screen and pass the qualifications for receiving and receiving basic livelihood security for the couple. Accordingly, Doo-soon Cho will receive up to 1.2 million won each month, including a basic pension of 300,000 won, a living benefit for two people, 626,000 won, and a housing allowance of 268,000 won.
In the case of livelihood benefits, up to 926,000 won can be received for a two-person household, but as Cho Doo-soon received a basic pension of 300,000 won, the amount was reduced by that amount.
The city of Ansan has paid welfare benefits to the Cho Doo-soon couple since last month. The Cho Doo-soon couple reportedly received welfare benefits for January of this year at the end of last month and retroactively received some of the welfare benefits for December last year after the application date.
Earlier, Cho Doo-soon, who was released in December last year, submitted an application for Basic Livelihood Security recipients to officials from Danwon-gu Office in Ansan City, who came home on the 17th of the same month, five days after release.
In order to be selected as a recipient of the Basic Livelihood Security, the recognized income must be 30-50% or less of the median income (19,91,580 won for a two-person household), which is less than the minimum cost of living.
Cho Doo-soon is an elderly person aged 65 or older. Jo Doo-soon’s wife is under the age of 65, but her health is very poor due to chronic diseases. Both of them are currently virtually impossible to go out, making it difficult to get a job. They currently live in a house with a deposit of 5 million won and a monthly rent of 300,000 won.
Ansan City “There is no provision for exclusion of criminals in the current law”
As it became known that Doo-soon Cho applied for a beneficiary, a complaint continued in Ansan City, saying,’Do not select Doo-soon Cho as a recipient of the Basic Livelihood Security. A post titled’Do not give Jo Doo-soon the basic living supply subsidies’ was posted on the Blue House National Petition Bulletin. As of 11 am on this day, 61,937 people agreed.

However, it is said that Ansan City decided that the couples were eligible for welfare benefits, such as the absence of a house, based on the condition of assets, such as financial information, and working ability of the couple.
Ansan city official said, “It is not possible to provide personal information on whether or not the couple is eligible for welfare benefits, etc.” I have no choice but to.
Meanwhile, Jo Doo-soon is said to have only gone out once at the end of last year since his release, and has not yet come out of the house. On January 15th, they announced their intention to “go out” to the probation officer and then withdrew.
