The government will call about 25,000 vulnerable households whose energy vouchers stopped after a move or a change in household members, then help them reapply on their behalf. Under the plan approved at a Cabinet meeting on November 10, the new Energy Voucher Finder service will explain the interruption and process the renewed application by phone.

Residents of goshiwon and jjokbang areas who cannot use vouchers because heating is included in their rent will receive heating costs in cash before winter.
