Uniform payment 100,000 yen Will it reach DV victims? New Corona April 30, 20:14

Will cash of 100,000 yen, which starts benefiting from May, be distributed to all people?
There were concerns about parents and children evacuating from the head of the household who were victims of DV = domestic violence.

As a general rule, a uniform payment of 100,000 yen in cash is applied by the head of household, and the family members collectively transfer to the account in the name of the head of household.

However, in the case of the parent and child who have been evacuated from the head of household due to the damage of DV, even if the resident's card has not been transferred, it is necessary to take the necessary procedures and apply to the municipality in which they currently live. He says that he can receive benefits separately.

Concern 1 Documents of DV damage

Initially, I was worried about the submission of documents showing that the necessary damage was caused during the application.

It was said that the support group in Tokyo said, "I have not consulted with local governments and I am worried that I can receive it because I have not issued certificates etc.", but the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, If we can confirm the fact that we have been inquiring about the damage of DV, we will allow the women's counseling center, the local government, and private support groups to issue the necessary documents for application, and we will respond flexibly.

Concern 2 Application period

It was also pointed out that the national government had to apply to the local governments until April 30th, and benefits could be delivered to the head of household without the application being made in time.

Regarding this, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications says that it will continue to accept applications even after the expiration of the next month, even if the benefits for victims have already been paid to the head of household, another benefit will be paid and double payment will be given. It is said that the householder will be asked to return the amount paid to the householder.

Concern 3 Victim living together

On the other hand, what remains of concern is the payment to DV victims who are unable to evacuate and live with the householder.

According to the support groups, there are many victims who continue to live together without being able to evacuate because the husband of the perpetrator has to work from home due to the effect of the new coronavirus, or because the cost of moving cannot be generated.

There are many cases where these victims are also exploited economically at home, and there are people who are hiding from their husbands due to lack of living expenses and borrowing money. It is said that there are also urgent consultations such as "I can not return the debt."

For this reason, the support organization approves the application to the victim living together so that the benefit can be delivered to a different account from the householder, and a support system can be set up to deal with any troubles that may occur after payment. I have submitted a request for the country to arrange.

Masao Kissho, Representative Director of the support organization "Aplus" said, "As a result of requesting the government, the range of DV victims covered by the benefits has expanded considerably. There are many victims living together who are not covered by the problem, and there are situations where they are in financial distress, but during the spread of infection, it is easy to blame themselves for saying "I think it is selfish to want to escape alone". I would like these people to reach 100,000 yen. "
