Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do, announced on the 11th that it did a full investigation on receiving basic living expenses, saying that his officials earned ‘0 won’ due to parental leave, but did not find any cases of fraudulent supply and demand.
According to the city of Gangneung, a total survey last month was conducted on 1,717 households and 2,96 people with a recognized income of 0 won.
The city confirmed general matters such as age shifts and income fluctuations, but did not find any matters requiring salaries to be recovered like A, a public official from parental leave.
However, it is known that there is no intention to return the basic living expenses that Mr. A has received so far, and the actual return is unclear.
The city ordered Mr. A to return 16 million won for basic living expenses received from August 2018 to April 2019 while taking parental leave in January of this year. Only confirmed the position.
Mr. A resigned from the city of Gangneung when this issue arose, and the city dismissed the lawmaker.
If Mr. A quits a public servant and is recognized as having no income and exists as a basic living security recipient, it is virtually difficult to get the basic living expenses paid back so far.
Accordingly, it is unclear whether the basic living expenses paid by the city of Donghae, where Mr. A lived, will be refunded.
An official from Gangneung City explained, “It is a very unfair position to receive it only if Mr. A has the will to return the basic living expenses.” .
