In order to support single-parent parenting, whose lives have become difficult due to the spread of the new coronavirus, the three opposition parties have put together a bill to provide a temporary special benefit equivalent to the child support allowance.

Constitutional Democratic Party, National Democratic Party, Social Democratic Party, etc., at a joint session on the 7th, summarized a bill to support single-parent parenting, whose life became difficult due to income decrease due to the spread of new coronavirus infection .

The bill states that the government will create a special temporary benefit equivalent to the child support allowance for single-parent households that receive the child support allowance.

For example, as for the child support allowance paid to single-parent households below a certain level of income, currently a maximum of 43,160 yen per month per household with one child is paid. , In effect, double the amount of benefits will be paid.

The target period will be half a year from March to August, and the three opposition parties are expected to submit to the Diet on the 15th of next week with the approval of each party.

Furthermore, the Constitutional Democratic Party and other parties are providing a lump-sum payment of up to 200,000 yen to students who have decreased part-time income and a reduction of the tuition fee to half the school for the bill to support students who are in need of life. I decided to include the contents that I will bear the burden.

In the future, we will submit a bill soon after asking for approval from the Japan Restoration Society.
