According to the Ansan City, Gyeonggi Province on the 2nd, the Cho Doo-soon couple passed the screening for beneficiaries of the National Basic Livelihood Security Customized Welfare System at the end of last month.
Earlier, Cho Doo-soon went out for the first time after being released from the hospital in December of last year, and went to an administrative agency with his spouse to apply for basic pension and basic living security benefits.
The city of Ansan went on the screening according to a legal procedure, and it was decided at the end of last month that the Cho Doo-soon couple were eligible for the customized welfare system.

In the future, the Cho Doo-soon couple will continue to receive such welfare benefits unless they are excluded from the customized welfare system recipients.
A city official said, “If you are eligible for a customized welfare system, you can receive it if you meet the standards of the relevant laws.”
Meanwhile, a petition against this was posted on the Blue House National Petition’s homepage when the fact that the Cho Doo-soon couple applied for welfare benefits was announced through the media at the beginning of last month. As of 11 am on the 2nd, 61,000 people agreed on this petition.
