Central Relief Fund 350,000 Per Household One-Stop Service + Door-to-Door Visits to Guide Form Filling and Applications

Yahoo News Taiwan | Local Language | News | Oct. 9, 2025 | UndeterminedBudgets-Budgeting

On October 7, 2025, the first day for post-earthquake relief applications in Hualien, affected households were able to apply through a central one-stop service platform as well as village and neighborhood service points. In Da’an Village, an activity center served as a local application site where about 200 of the 400 affected households filed their relief claims. Meanwhile, Dahua Village listed 541 households on the registration roster, but some affected families were not included, prompting officials from the Council of Indigenous Peoples to conduct door-to-door visits to assist with application forms and guide the process.

The central government stated that after verification of the application data, relief funds amounting to NT$350,000 per household will be disbursed on the 8th to provide timely support to disaster victims. To accommodate those with mobility restrictions or missing documentation, additional support and verification services were offered, including form-filling on behalf of applicants and subsequent confirmation with village officials.

The TVBS Faith Hope Love Sustainable Foundation, together with local partners, is also actively aiding disaster victims in rebuilding homes. Alongside relief efforts, local government and cross-ministerial teams have been mobilized to streamline the application process, with over 900 individuals assisted through village visits and nearly 1,000 people served at the one-stop service site on the first day.

Additional reports within the article highlight ongoing recovery activities, including cleanup operations in affected areas and the resumption of school classes in Guangfu Township. The government has increased the flood relief payments, with Premier Chuo announcing NT$1 million compensation for each fatality. Various challenges persist, such as displaced families not yet recognized on official rosters and the complexities of document replacement for those who lost identification in the floods.

Elsewhere, the article briefly covers unrelated news including a dementia-related police assistance case in Taoyuan, child abuse allegations in Kaohsiung kindergartens, the 2025 Nantou World Tea Expo’s success, the health risks of sustained high autumn temperatures, Taiwan’s stock market activity, a daycare death investigation in the U.S., and the shipment of Taiwan’s first domestically produced optical remote-sensing satellite.
