Yang Jeong-hee, Council Member of Michuhol-gu, Orders: "No Residents Should Miss Welfare Benefits Due to Lack of Information... Strengthen 'Outreach Promotion'"

Yang Jeong-hee, a council member of Michuhol-gu (People Power Party, Juan 1·2·3·4·7·8), urged the district to actively prepare promotional measures so that welfare beneficiaries are not excluded from benefits due to lack of information.

During the report of the Welfare and Construction Committee at the 293rd Michuhol-gu Council's temporary session held on the 28th, Council Member Yang focused on the utilization of the welfare benefit guide, 'Michuhol-gu True Thrift Plan.' She pointed out that "simply placing booklets at the district administrative welfare centers or welfare centers is insufficient," noting that many beneficiaries who desperately need assistance often do not even know how to use the food market.

In particular, for elderly beneficiaries, she stated, "They tend to forget quickly even after receiving guidance," and called for seeking practical promotional measures that can be directly delivered to the target individuals or repeatedly announced, moving away from the passive method of just placing booklets.

Following this, Council Member Yang continued to ask sharp questions about the 'Integrated Medical, Nursing, and Care Support Project' that will be implemented nationwide starting March 27. She confirmed that the service is focused on 'home care' to help elderly individuals who are at the pre-admission stage to nursing homes continue to live in their own homes, and urged close cooperation with service-linked organizations.

Council Member Yang emphasized, "Since the personalized benefits, from home visiting services to hospital accompaniment, are intricately intertwined, we must minimize confusion in the initial implementation phase," and requested that the elderly and disabled welfare department take the lead to ensure that beneficiaries receive assistance down to the smallest details.

A district official responded, "We will strengthen guidance when designating new beneficiaries and ensure that the integrated care service operates organically within the community by managing related organizations thoroughly."
