The Youth Basic Income program provides 250,000 won per quarter, up to 1 million won a year, in local currency to help young people achieve financial stability and participate in social activities.


Applicants must be 24 years old and currently registered as residents of Osan City. As of the application date, they must have lived in Gyeonggi Province continuously for at least three years or have accumulated at least 10 years of residence there. Applications can be submitted online or by mobile device through Jobaba, Gyeonggi Province's employment platform.


Existing applicants who agreed to automatic applications through the second quarter of this year will be reviewed without submitting a separate application. However, they must update their information if their personal details or other information has changed. Automatic applications do not apply to new applicants who applied in the third quarter of this year, so they must apply directly during this application period.


After reviewing eligibility requirements, the city plans to distribute the benefit to eligible applicants starting Dec. 20 in Osaekjeon, Osan City's local currency. The funds can be used at local currency-affiliated merchants in Osan City.



Academy tuition and exam fees can also be paid at affiliated merchants in Gyeonggi Province and online merchants that accept local currency. Online options include the Gyeonggi Province Youth Basic Income online mall, Hackers, Pagoda, and the HSK exam. Details on how to apply and where to use the funds are available on the Jobaba application page.
