The government will create a new system within the ruling party to directly pay benefits as a support measure for those who are forced to take leave due to the new coronavirus but have not received sufficient leave allowance from their employers. Adjustment is in progress.

In response to the lack of growth in applications for “employment adjustment subsidies” to subsidize companies that maintain employment by paying employees for leave, etc. The government is studying a mechanism to directly support people who have not received such benefits.

Initially, the government considered that these people were unemployed and provided an unemployment allowance for employment insurance as a special case.However, there were concerns that "the company would not be responsible for maintaining employment". , "I can't afford the financial resources for employment insurance," he said.

Under these circumstances, it turned out that the ruling party is creating a new benefit system with the national budget and making adjustments to pay the benefits to the applicant.
