Eligible for support are families who gave birth after January 1 , 2025 , regardless of income level , and must report the birth in Yeonsu-gu and have been registered as a resident in Yeonsu-gu for three months prior to the date of birth .
However , if you receive support from a similar project, such as Incheon City’s support for postpartum care expenses for vulnerable groups, you cannot receive duplicate support .
You can apply for the birth certificate by visiting the local administrative welfare center within 60 days of birth , and after going through the verification process, 500,000 won will be paid in local currency ( Yeonsu e- um policy allowance ) within about 2 weeks .
The subsidy can only be used at Incheon e- food member stores related to postpartum care for mothers, such as postpartum care centers , hospitals , pharmacies , health functional foods , and yoga. For more information, please check the Yeonsu-gu Health Center website .
Yeonsu-gu District Mayor Lee Jae-ho said, “ I hope this project will help ease the burden of childbirth and childcare and provide an opportunity for both mothers and newborns to recover healthily .” He added , “ We will continue to do our best to create a childcare city where it is good to have and raise children .”
