Planning to apply for the 2026 Housing Benefit? Households may qualify when recognized income is no more than 48% of the standard median income. Monthly limits include KRW 1,230,834 for a one-person household and KRW 3,117,474 for a four-person household. For renters, support is based on the lower of standard rent or actual rent. Owner-occupiers may receive minor, medium, or major repairs after a home inspection rather than cash. Applications are accepted year-round through Bokjiro or the local Administrative Welfare Center for your registered address. #HousingBenefit #RentalBenefit #Bokjiro #StandardMedianIncome #HomeRepair

Would your auto insurance cover a flooded or storm-damaged vehicle? Basic own-damage coverage may focus on collisions and exclude some natural-disaster losses.

If your vehicle floods, don’t restart it. Photograph the waterline and scene, then contact your insurer promptly.
