New Corona Careful attitude towards raising the upper limit of employment adjustment subsidy Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare April 28, 11:48

Following the spread of the new coronavirus infection, the ruling and opposition parties are calling for an increase in the amount of employment adjustment subsidy to maintain employment, Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare Kato said, `` Turning in insurance finance Is a difficult situation, ”he said.

Even if the sales decline, companies that have not dismissed employees and have maintained their employment will receive 8330 yen per day per day from the ruling and opposition parties over the employment adjustment subsidy system that subsidizes part of the allowance. Some people are calling for higher limits.

Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare Kato said in a press conference after the cabinet meeting, "The maximum amount of subsidies is supposed to match the upper limit of the basic allowance for employment insurance paid to the unemployed. Both are managed in the same insurance account. Therefore, the review requires careful consideration. ”

On top of that, he said, "Although there are reserves, it is a tough situation to spend in the insurance finance considering that we are advancing the extension of insurance premiums and subsidies due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection." He was cautious about raising the maximum grant amount.
