A total of 1.4 trillion won was returned to 1.01 million people on the 11th, the first day of the payment, with the support fund prepared to support small business owners in trouble due to the third spread of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19).
Minister of SMEs and Startups Park Young-sun said in a non-face-to-face online briefing at the government office in Seoul on the morning of the 12th, “I am well aware that the 3rd support fund provided by small businesses is not large compared to the pains that small businessmen have suffered.” “We have built a database of target applicants in close cooperation with local governments, the Ministry of Education, and the National Tax Service since January, and have a system that can be quickly paid on the day of application by applying an advance payment and post-payment method.”
According to the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy on the 11th, the number of small business owners (with an odd number at the end of the business registration number) who applied for the support fund from 8:00 am to midnight on the 11th was 18,000, and about 70% of the 1.432,000 applicants who applied on the day applied for support on the first day. Received. Among those eligible for expedited payment, the application rate on the first day was 37%, which was 7%p higher than the 30% for the second disaster support fund.
The total amount paid was KRW 1.43 trillion as of 9 am on the 12th. 4540 million people who applied by noon on the 11th were paid from 1:20 pm on the same day, and 5540 million people who applied between noon and midnight on the 12th were paid from 3 am on the 12th.
On the 12th, information letters were sent to 1,330,000 small business owners with an even number at the end of the business registration number, and applications from around 2pm until noon, and from 3am on the 13th until midnight after noon. On the 13th, those who have not been able to apply on the 11th and 12th can apply online without discriminating between odd and even numbers at the end of the business registration number.
There are three main reasons that the support fund has changed from the new hope fund. △ Among those eligible for the first expedited payment, the group was given priority support for businesses that were prohibited from collective or restricted operations, which was nearly three times higher than that of the new desired fund. The pre-payment and post-settlement method was applied to those who are eligible for the industry. △ By expanding the starting point and sales calculation criteria, 260,000 people were added.
The contents mainly inquiries by small business owners who were supported on the first day were composed of Q&A.
Q. I haven’t received a text message.
A. In order to prevent smishing damage, the amount of information sent is limited to about 150,000 per hour because the application is guided by secure text. It would take 8 hours to send text messages to all 1.2 million people. Even those who have not received a text message can directly access’Support Fund.kr’ to check whether they are eligible for application and apply.
Q. I received a new desired fund for a group banned or restricted business, but the support fund is not eligible for support.
A. The companies that will be supported from the 11th have been confirmed by receiving a list from the National Tax Service and local governments, and businesses to be additionally reflected will be paid from the 25th of this month. Even in this case, if it is not on the list of persons eligible for payment, the local government may apply for a group ban or business restriction confirmation.
Q. Do you provide supporting funds to beneficiaries of the new desired fund without confirming a decrease in sales?
A. Yes. However, if last year’s sales increased from 2019, it is subject to redemption. Whether or not the sales decline is expected to be confirmed based on the VAT declaration on February 25th. As sales declined, new desired funds are supported, and if this is a business that is prohibited from collectively or restricted to business, support will be provided regardless of the decrease in sales.
