Can I sign up for the Youth Leap Account as a college student?
The Youth Leap Account is aimed at people with income, so even college students who work part-time or have personal income can apply.
However, you must prove that you are paying employment insurance before you can enroll, so make sure to check with the National Tax Service whether or not you are subject to income reporting.
Income declaration is filed once a year in May, so if your income for the previous year has not been confirmed, you can apply for it after it has been confirmed.
You can check your income tax return at the National Tax Service Hometax.

Tips for maintaining your Youth Leap Account for 5 years
It is said that the number of people who canceled 1 month of the youth hope savings account, which was popular in 2022, is about 2.4 million.
Although it was popular because it offered high interest rates, there were many defectors.
The reason is that I started saving money because I was too lazy to save for a long time.
Then, what should I do to maintain my Youth Leap Account for 5 years?
1. Change of payment amount
At first, 700,000 won seems like a small amount, but it is a lot of money to do it steadily for 5 years.
In this case, it is better to reduce the payment amount.
There is almost no cancellation interest rate for early termination, so you can receive government contributions just by maintaining the savings account, so try changing the payment amount.
2. Reducing other installment savings
If you are maintaining other installment savings, it is a good idea to reduce the amount of those savings or compare the interest rates and deposit them in the best place.
Since the Youth Leap Savings Savings account for the highest interest rate compared to other installment savings on the market, it seems better to reduce other installment savings and save it as a Youth Leap Savings Savings.
3. Direct debit
If you do automatic debit, the money will come out on its own, so it’s better to think about the current situation thinking that your monthly salary has decreased.
It’s up to you to adapt to it as it increases if your salary increases, and as it decreases if it decreases.
Voices for the Youth Leap Account
There are many who present a problem in that the age is limited.
If you are at least one year older than the age of 34, you are excluded from being eligible to apply, so those with early birthdays and young people who do not receive benefits due to a difference of one to two years express regret.
It is also said that they are unhappy with the policy that the more they earn, the less they receive.
Reverse discrimination is being discussed as people who work harder should pay less.
It is also said that five years is too long.
These days, prices are soaring even within a year, but there are voices saying that a period of five years is not realistic.
Frequently asked questions about Youth Leap Account
Q. Can I receive it at the same time as other government financial products?
A. Even young people who have subscribed to existing support products can sign up simultaneously or sequentially with similar products so that they can receive maximum asset formation support.
In particular, since this support is for young people with low income and lack of assets, we plan to proceed to receive as much as possible.
However, it cannot be done at the same time as Youth Hope Savings Savings.
Q. What happens when I get older after joining the Youth Leap Account?
A. As it corresponds to the age requirement at the time of registration, the Youth Leap Account will be maintained unless terminated in the middle.
Q. Will I continue to receive support based on my income when I sign up? Is there an income review?
A. The Youth Leap Account is a mid- to long-term product with a maturity of 5 years.
Therefore, the individual’s income is verified every one year from the date of registration.
Based on this, we plan to check whether it is maintained. Only personal income is checked, and then whether or not government contributions are paid and the amount are adjusted.
If, as a result of the maintenance review, the personal income exceeds KRW 60 million, the government contribution payment will be suspended until the next maintenance review.
In the next maintenance review, if the personal income is less than KRW 60 million, the government contribution will be paid again until the maintenance review.
The tax exemption is maintained until maturity, provided that the individual household income requirements are met at the time of enrollment.
Q. What happens to the benefits if I do not complete the 5-year maturity period and terminate early?
A. If the reason for termination falls under the special early termination requirements, government contributions will be paid in addition to the user’s payment, and tax exemption benefits may also be applied.
However, in the case of early termination of a general Youth Leap Account, only the portion paid by the person himself/herself is paid, and government contributions and tax-free benefits are not available.
