It has been revealed that over 60,000 objections have been filed in the first three weeks since the South Korean government began distributing the public welfare recovery consumption coupons.

On the 24th, the Civil Rights Commission announced that from July 21st, when the first round of coupon applications and payments began, to August 10th, the number of applications received from the dedicated window on the website "Citizens Report and Listen to the Drums" was 100,000.
The government announced that it had received 58,873 oral appeals. When 5,429 appeals were received outside the designated window are added, the total number reaches 64,302.
The most common complaint received by the dedicated helpline was "I returned to Japan after staying overseas," with 24,907 complaints.
Those who are affected by this law and are staying overseas must return to Japan between June 18 and September 12, confirm their entry and exit status, and then file an appeal.
The next most common reasons were "birth" with 10,636 cases (18.07%), "moving to non-metropolitan areas or areas with declining population" with 4,975 cases (8.45%), and "nationals and foreigners living overseas" with 46 cases.
The number of cases was 89 (7.96%). Newborns born after the consumer coupon payment date (June 18th) will also be eligible for the coupon if they submit a birth notification and file an objection by September 12th.
Objections regarding relocation to non-metropolitan areas or areas with declining population include cases where the person relocated to an area eligible for additional benefits after the payment reference date.

Those enrolled in health insurance are eligible. Permanent residents, marriage immigrants (F-6), and recognized refugees (F-2-4) who are enrolled in health insurance are also eligible to receive the coupons.
