We are providing information on newly changed welfare information for 2024 and the application period for existing welfare policies. Today, I will post about the 2024 massage voucher application, which will start soon. The government is implementing massage vouchers to support employment for the visually impaired and to improve the health of low-income elderly people with chronic diseases. It is said that a total of 1.68 million won will be supported for 10 months of the year. Now, let’s find out more details, such as the application period and support recipients.

Massage vouchers can be applied for by people over 60 years of age with musculoskeletal, nervous, or circulatory diseases, people of national merit, and people with disabilities registered with physical disabilities or brain lesions. Disabled people and people of national merit can apply regardless of age criteria. Applicants must be able to submit a medical certificate or prescription with G (nervous system), M (musculoskeletal system), I (circulatory system), R81 (diabetes), and E 10-15 (other diabetes).
Additionally, the income standard is 140% or less of the standard median income. 140% of median income in 2024 is:
Massage vouchers can cover the cost of massage and acupressure services 40 times (once a week, 4 times a month) over 10 months. If an individual pays only 4,000 won per week (16,000 won per month), the government provides 168,000 won per month for the difference. Therefore, you can receive a total of 1.68 million won in health subsidies over 10 months.
Those eligible for support can receive full-body massage, massage, acupressure, foot massage, exercise therapy, and stimulation therapy services, and people with disabilities and other medical conditions can also receive body correction services.
Applications are usually accepted in January each year, and support ends when the budget is exhausted. So, it would be better to apply quickly, right? You can apply by visiting the community center where you live. Massage vouchers are implemented in most regions across the country, but there are some regions that do not implement them (Seoul: Nowon-gu, Gangbuk-gu, Gwangjin-gu, Songpa-gu, Jongno-gu, Busan: Gangseo-gu), so please inquire by phone first before visiting. Additionally, the application period may also vary slightly by region. The documents required for application are as follows:
