▽ In addition to expanding the scope to
include people raising children, those who are receiving continuous treatment, and patients with intractable diseases, those who are receiving support programs aimed at early re-employment will be allowed to complete online procedures without face-to-face interviews, saying that they interact with Hello Work on a daily basis.
