Starting in October, many things will change, so please check the information carefully one by one. If there are any relevant circumstances for you, be sure to take advantage of them. Hello, this is Front Tiger. Many policies will change starting in October. First, let me mention the topic: a type of automatic driver's license will be newly established. Additionally, claiming health insurance has been very inconvenient, but now the insurance claims process will be computerized. Online applications for psychological counseling services will also begin in October. The dates for receiving free flu vaccinations are finally approaching, so please make sure to check those dates. If you are a young newlywed couple with a newborn, you can also apply for rental housing. If you work at a small to medium-sized enterprise, a preferential savings deduction will start in October, which means that when you deposit 30 million won, it can be increased to 4.27 million won through the preferential savings deduction. And for self-employed individuals...

If you have borrowed money from small and medium-sized financial institutions as a small business owner, you can receive interest refunds of up to 1.5 million won. First, let's talk about the driver's license. A new type of automatic driver's license will be introduced. Starting from October 20, a first-class automatic driver's license will be established. From now on, you can choose to apply for a first-class automatic license or opt for a first-class manual license. Most vehicles are equipped with automatic transmissions; however, there has been an inconvenience where you need to obtain a manual license to drive a truck. It was really inconvenient as you had no choice but to get a manual license. Therefore, the introduction of the automatic driver's license is a significant change. Until now, there has only been a second-class automatic license, but from now on, you will be able to obtain a first-class ordinary license by choosing between manual and automatic. This new first-class automatic driver's license will be available starting October 20, so those who need it should take note.

Please check the date and apply accordingly. The type of license determines the vehicles you can drive. A Class 1 general license allows you to drive all passenger cars. A Class 2 general license also allows you to drive all passenger cars, but for vans, Class 1 allows up to 15 passengers, while Class 2 allows up to 10 passengers. For cargo vehicles, Class 1 allows up to 12 tons, and Class 2 allows up to 4 tons. Special vehicles can be up to 10 tons or 3.5 tons, and construction machinery must be under 3 tons, which can only be driven with a Class 1 general license. As for motorcycles, all types are permissible. Therefore, depending on whether you will be driving with a Class 1 or Class 2 general license, you will need to acquire the appropriate license for the vehicle you intend to drive. Additionally, please be aware that a new Class 1 automatic driving license will be introduced. This will take effect from October 25th, when the digitization of claims for actual loss insurance will begin. Now, without needing various documents, claims can be processed directly through the system. Until now, to file an insurance claim...

After going back and forth between the hospital and the insurance company several times, it was really cumbersome. However, from now on, when a consumer requests it, hospitals will be able to directly send the insurance claim documents to the insurance company. This means that consumers will no longer have to go through the hassle of obtaining these documents, as they can be sent from the hospital to the insurance company with just one click. The insurance business law has been amended to facilitate this process. Under the current law, when claiming for actual loss insurance, consumers had to personally gather documents from hospitals and pharmacies and submit them directly to the insurance company. Now, if a consumer requests it, healthcare institutions, such as hospitals and pharmacies, will electronically transmit the actual loss insurance claim documents to the insurance company. This means that the documents will be sent directly from the computer. However, you need to check the details regarding the implementation date. Starting from October 25, 2024, hospitals will implement this process, while clinics and pharmacies will begin on October 25, 2025.

From October 25 of next year, it will take about another year for the insurance claims from the most frequently visited clinics and pharmacies to be processed. However, hospitals will start implementing this from October 25, so please remember this important detail. 

Another point is that the nationwide mental health investment support program service is now available for online applications starting from October 2. Previously, individuals had to visit their local administrative welfare center to apply for this service, but now they can conveniently apply online through the Welfare website or mobile app. 

The mental health investment support program service provides professional psychological counseling. Many people experience depression or anxiety, and those who need psychological counseling due to these emotional difficulties have been applying for this service. However, the inconvenience of having to visit the administrative welfare center to apply made it more difficult for many to even consider applying. Now, with the new online application process, it has become easier for them.

You can apply directly online. The content is that you will receive a voucher for psychological counseling from experts. You will receive this eight times, with each session lasting at least 50 minutes for one-on-one psychological counseling. The service cost is categorized into two levels: 80,000 won for level one and 70,000 won for level two per session. There may be no personal burden or a 30% co-payment for the service, so please check this part. 

The flu vaccination will begin. The free vaccination targets children aged 6 months to 13 years, specifically those born between January 1, 2011, and August 31, 2024. Pregnant women are also eligible for free vaccination, as well as seniors aged 65 and older, who were born before December 31, 1959. 

Children will require two vaccinations, starting from September 20 until April 30. The single vaccination for others will begin on October 2, and pregnant women can also start their vaccinations on October 2. The vaccination dates for seniors aged 65 and older will vary according to their age.

There are also standards for automobiles, which mostly amount to 345 million won. The automobile must be below 3,708 won. For housing types, young people can include things like officetels, while newlyweds and newly established households can include multi-family housing. The newlywed and newly established household Type 2 includes multi-family housing, apartments, and officetels. Young people are eligible for rent at 40 to 50% of the market price, while newlywed and newly established household Type 1 can access 30 to 40% of the market price. Type 2 households can access 70 to 80% of the market price. The maximum residence period for young people is 10 years, while newlywed and newly established Type 1 households can stay for 20 years, and Type 2 households can stay for up to 10 years. If they have children, they can stay for a maximum of 14 years. Those in need can apply on the Korea Housing and Urban Corporation's Cheongyak Plus website. For employees of small and medium enterprises, it is important to note that a preferential savings deduction for small and medium enterprise employees will be launched in October. If a worker at a small or medium enterprise contributes between 100,000 won and 500,000 won per month, the contribution amount...

This is about a corporate subsidy that corresponds to 20% and a preferential interest rate benefit of 1-2% from the partnered bank. If you contribute between 100,000 to 500,000 won monthly for a term of five years, you will receive a monthly installment in units of 10,000 won. Looking at the product structure, the employee's contribution will have an additional 20% corporate subsidy, along with a 1-2% preferential bank interest rate, and there will be tax benefits included. The income tax imposed on the corporate subsidy will be reduced by 50%, and young people can receive a 90% tax benefit. 

If we look at an example of the subscription amount, when contributing 100,000 won, the company provides an additional 20,000 won. Therefore, the actual amount contributed by the individual is 6 million won, but the total amount received will be 8.05 million won. For a contribution of 300,000 won, the company will support 60,000 won, leading to a total contribution of 18 million won and receiving 2.16 million won. If you contribute 500,000 won, the company will provide a support of 100,000 won, resulting in a total contribution of 30 million won and receiving 4.27 million won.

There are provisions for workers and business owners to negotiate the monthly payment amount, and the details of the agreement will be communicated by the Small and Medium Business Administration. You can visit the designated bank to enroll, and currently, IBK Industrial Bank and Hana Bank are the partner banks. The application for interest refunds for small and medium-sized enterprises will begin from October 8 to December 31. This is the application period for the fourth quarter interest refunds for small and medium-sized financial sector businesses. It is the last application period of the year, during which you can receive a refund of up to 1.5 million won for the interest paid over the year. The support targets include small and medium-sized financial institutions such as savings banks, NongHyup, Suhyup, credit unions, and cooperative banks, as well as credit card companies or capital companies that have provided business loans to individual entrepreneurs or small corporations at an interest rate between 5% and 7%. This applies to loans executed before December 31, 2023. You can receive support for a portion of the interest paid over the year.

The maximum amount is up to 1.5 million won. When applying, you can do so through the online application system of the Credit Information Center, or you can apply directly by visiting the financial institution you deal with. Today, I have summarized various benefits that can be received by applying for different policies that will change starting in October. A type of automatic driver's license will be newly established, and the claims for actual loss insurance have now been computerized for easier reference. Additionally, while it was difficult to apply for the National Heart Investment Support Project, it can now be done online. The dates for flu vaccinations vary slightly depending on age, so be sure to check the dates carefully and get vaccinated in advance, remembering that it is available for free. The project for young newlyweds and newly established households to rent or purchase homes without worrying about rental fraud will also begin, allowing them to use these homes at a low cost for an extended period.

Please make use of the newly launched preferential savings deduction for employees of small and medium-sized enterprises, which allows you to invest 30 million won and receive 4.27 won in return. Also, self-employed individuals and small business owners can apply for a refund of up to 1.5 million won, so please check and submit your applications.
