2024년 출산혜택This ordinance revision was prepared to contribute to encouraging childbirth by stipulating necessary matters such as health care support for pregnant women and infants living in Gimje City, economic support for families giving birth, and overcoming infertility.
The main contents are ▲change of the name of the ordinance to ‘Gimje City Ordinance on Childbirth Encouragement, etc., Maternal and Child Health’, ▲Establishment of a new oriental medicine infertility treatment support project, ▲Change in the target of support for childbirth incentives, ▲When paying childbirth incentives, multicultural families must live abroad for the period of stay for childbirth. These include specifying the period and ▲ mandatory provisions for providing information on the maternity incentive.
In particular, the payment requirements for those eligible for childbirth incentives have been strengthened. This is to prevent frequent cases of people moving to other cities and counties after receiving childbirth incentives and to provide payments to citizens actually residing in Gimje City.
In fact, out of 271 applicants in 2019, when the installment payment of the birth incentive ended, 65 (24%) moved out within 4 years.
The change in eligibility for maternity subsidy support will apply to children born on January 1, 2024, and both the child and his or her parents must have registered as a resident in Gimje City and live in the same household as listed on the resident registration from one year prior to the date of birth or adoption of the child until the date of application for support. It is a family that has been achieved.
However, if the period of residence is less than one year, support is eligible from the day the period of residence elapses for one year, and the child must be less than one year old as of the date of application.
Currently, the amount of childbirth incentives in Gimje City is 8 million won for the first child, 13 million won for the second child, 15 million won for the third child, 17 million won for the fourth child, and 18 million won for the fifth child and above, which is the largest amount in Jeonbuk Province.
Mayor Jeong Seong-ju of Gimje said, “Even if we pay birth incentives, there is a possibility of regional migration after giving birth, so we will promote various policies to create a birth and child-rearing environment that allows for continuous population growth to have and raise many children.”
