The Basic Livelihood Support Recipient Guide is an information app designed to help you easily check the 2027 eligibility criteria for Basic Livelihood Support recipients, as well as information on livelihood benefits, medical benefits, housing benefits, and education benefits.

In 2027, the standard median income was increased by 6.7%, raising it to 2.73 million won for a one-person household and 6.92 million won for a four-person household. Consequently, the selection criteria and benefit amounts for Basic Livelihood Support recipients have been changed. Based on these revised standards, this app summarizes and provides key information so that even those new to the Basic Livelihood Security System can easily understand it.

● Self-Diagnosis of Eligibility: You can easily check your eligibility for livelihood, medical, housing, and education benefits by entering your household size, monthly income, and asset size in three steps. It also provides information on the criteria for the 30% deduction on earned income and the additional deduction for young adults aged 34 and under (600,000 KRW + 30%).

● Income Recognition Calculator: Select your household size and residential area, and input your earned income, business income, and other income, as well as your residential, general, financial, and debt assets.
