Special Cash Payment for Households with Children
2021-12-22
As one of the measures to counter the economic impact of the COVID‑19 crisis, the Japanese government has decided to provide the special cash payment to households raising children from 0 years old to high school students (born on or before April 1, 2006).
On December 8, Sapporo City sent a postcard, notifying that 50,000 yen per child would be paid first, but it was changed to provide the additional amount at once, and 100,000 yen per child will be paid.
The payment will be made on December 27 to the following households first, and another notice (postcard in the photo) about the additional amount will be sent on December 22.
[Households eligible for receiving money on Dec. 27] (Income restrictions apply)
(1) Households that have received child allowance for September 2021 from the Sapporo City; and
(2) Households that are raising children born between April 2, 2003 and April 1, 2006, and certified for child-rearing allowance (as of September 30, 2021).
* Once you have received the postcard, check the number of children eligible for the special cash payment(in Japanese:支給対象児童数).
* There is no procedure to receive money.
* The money will be transferred to the bank account where you receive the child allowance/child-rearing allowance.
For those who do not fall under (1) and (2) and are raising high school students only, etc., Sapporo City will send an application form in or after January next year. We will keep you posted on the details.
If there is a mistake in the number of eligible children, or you have questions about this special cash payment, please contact below.
