Attention residents of Guangfu Township, Hualien County!

Eligible residents can receive NT$10,000 in cash!

The original deadline of August 8 was adjusted as it fell on a Saturday. The township office has officially extended the counter application period to Monday, August 10, 115 (2026). Who is eligible? What documents are required? What happens if you miss the deadline? This article provides a complete guide.

Who Can Receive the NT$10,000 Revitalization Fund?

The Guangfu Township Office emphasizes that this program is a universal economic stimulus, not means-tested or targeted solely at vulnerable groups. Eligibility depends solely on household registration status.

### Two Key Eligibility Criteria (both must be met):

- Registration Date: Registered in Guangfu Township on or before September 23, 114 (2025). - Continuous Registration: Still registered in Guangfu Township as of the distribution start date (June 8, 115 / 2026).

### Four Categories of Ineligible Recipients:

- Those whose household registration has been forcibly transferred to a household registration office - Individuals currently incarcerated in correctional facilities - Those who moved out of Guangfu Township after June 8, 115 (2026) - Deceased individuals after June 8, 115 (2026)

Distribution Method and Deadline: Final Date is August 10! Unclaimed Funds Will Be Confiscated

The NT$10,000 gift fund will primarily be distributed via direct bank transfer. Cash pickup at designated counters is available only under exceptional circumstances.

- Application Deadline: Extended to August 10, 115 (Monday, 2026). If a natural disaster causes office closure, the deadline will be extended to the next business day. - Consequences of Missing the Deadline: Per government budget, accounting, and audit regulations, any unclaimed funds after August 10 will be directly returned to the public treasury. No retroactive claims will be accepted.

What to Bring for In-Person Pickup: Strongly Recommend Household Head to Collect on Behalf of Entire Family

To minimize waiting times, the township office strongly recommends that the household head collect the funds on behalf of all family members. This approach maximizes efficiency and reduces administrative burden.

### Required Documents Checklist:

### Anti-Fraud and Legal Warning

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
