100,000 yen Benefits Double payment to 39 people Muroran, Hokkaido May 30 5:05
Muroran City, Hokkaido announced that there was a mistake in double payment of 3.9 million yen to 39 people in 18 households, regarding the uniform payment of 100,000 yen in cash due to the spread of the new coronavirus.
Muroran City has started to provide a uniform cash payment of 100,000 yen from 20th of this month.
According to the city, on 22nd of this month, the citizens contacted me saying that "the benefits have been transferred in double", and as a result of detailed investigation, I mistakenly paid 3.9 million yen to the account of the 39 households of 18 households who applied. It means that I found that there was a heavy mistake in the transfer.
According to Hokkaido, this is the first time that the mistake of double payment of benefits in Hokkaido was revealed.
Regarding the cause of the mistake, the city explained that there were mistakes such as duplicate data to be sent to financial institutions as a result of multiple staff members in charge preparing data in time for the modification of the benefit management system. ..
Most households that have made a transfer error have already been contacted and have agreed to return their benefits.
To prevent the recurrence of mistakes, the city will use a management system and strengthen the check system by checking the entered data in multiple numbers.
At the press conference, Junichi Shiogoshi, Director of Health and Welfare, Muroran City, apologized, "I am very sorry to impair the trust of the citizens and the citizens who have repeatedly paid this time."
