Regarding the special fixed amount benefit that uniformly pays 100,000 yen in cash, Tokorozawa City, Saitama Prefecture, announced that there was a mistake in double payment of benefits for 183 people to 74 households.
Tokorozawa City has started accepting applications for fixed benefit payments from the first day of the last month, but depending on the city, on the 4th, citizens contacted us that "the benefits are being transferred in double", and examined it in detail. The total amount of benefits for 183 people from 74 households in the city was 18.3 million yen, which was found to have been transferred in double.
According to Tokorozawa City, all of the 74 households that were double-transferred had applications applied both online and by mail, but the person in charge of the private contractor who had been entrusted did not sufficiently confirm it. , It means that the transfer has been done twice.
Tokorozawa City will contact each household and ask for a refund in the future.
Tokorozawa-shi commented, "We apologize to the citizens and apologize for the inconvenience. In addition, we will try to prevent recurrence by checking with multiple people and strive for accurate and prompt payment."
