New Corona is a restaurant that has been waiting for more than a month after applying for a sustainable benefit.

Sustainable Benefits The restaurant that waits for more than one month after applying is the new Corona June 12 18:39

A restaurant owner who has applied for a sustained benefit but is not paid for more than a month is asking for an early payment.

Yuro Sakai (54) from Ageo City, Saitama Prefecture, has been running an izakaya for 15 years, specializing in yakitori made from Kishu Bincho charcoal.

Due to the effect of the new coronavirus, the sales that were about 4 to 5 million yen a month have fallen to less than half since March, so I applied for a sustainable benefit on the 7th of last month.

However, I haven't received any deposit after a month.

In the case of Mr. Sakai, an email was sent at the end of last month, which is two weeks after the government has set a rule from application to payment, at the end of last month.

For this reason, we have corrected the documents and re-applied, but after that, there will be no communication such as whether there was any defect.

I am worried that even if I look at "My Page" on the benefit homepage, I do not know how far the examination is going.

We have started taking out yakitori bowls, etc., but with a monthly rent of 400,000 yen and a loan for renovating the store, we are asking for an early payment.

Sakai said, "I've been in a difficult situation with rents and loans exceeding the sales of the store, and I was mentally cornered to the point that I couldn't do it anymore for a while. It's a situation that doesn't exist, so I want you to show it clearly."

Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry “Approximately 40% of applications are time for confirmation of defects”

According to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, there were 1.99 million applications for sustained benefits as of the 11th, of which more than 70% were 1.49 million, or 1,960 billion yen.

Applications are submitted online only, and are examined on a first-come, first-served basis to check if the conditions such as sales have decreased by 50% or more compared to last year and to confirm the input contents such as account information.

Initially, the examination system was 1,600, but now we have received more applications than expected, and now we are expanding to 2,900.

The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) says that it is possible to pay roughly in about two weeks, which is a guideline, unless there are inadequate application contents or special circumstances that make a decision.

However, in the case of the first day of the first month of the first day of acceptance, when applications were concentrated, there were many cases where the payment was not completed even after more than one month, such as about 3% of the 5000 cases have not yet been reviewed.

Approximately 40% of applications have some inadequacies, and it often takes time to exchange confirmation and correction requests, and some businesses do not respond even if they contact them by email.

In addition, it is said that it takes time to examine the documents that were submitted last year, such as the company that was founded, NPO corporation, public interest corporation, etc.

In response to this situation, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will strengthen its response next week by forming a specialized team to respond to operators who have applied immediately after receiving the application but have not completed the examination and make individual phone calls. I am deciding.
