Seoul city is aiding freelancers and workers in special types of employment who weren’t included in the national disaster relief funds. These include those who offer labor directly to customers and get paid in return such as visiting tutors, tour guides and sports instructors.

The city government will provide some 400 U.S. dollars to these workers who have a Seoul address, earn below the median income, and lack unemployment insurance.

Applicants must have had a more than 30 percent drop in income for March and April compared to the months before. Online applications run from today until May 22nd.
