Regarding the benefit of 100,000 yen to those under the age of 18, Prime Minister Kishida announced on the 13th that he would accept a lump sum payment in full cash within the year at the discretion of the local government.
It is a de facto policy change, and unless the target person and amount are inappropriate, the policy is to subsidize the local government after the payment to provide financial resources.
Prime Minister Kishida was at the House of Representatives Budget Committee on the 13th, at the discretion of the local government, within the year, while there were a series of voices from local governments nationwide that the payment equivalent to 100,000 yen to those under the age of 18 should be allowed in full cash. He also said that he would accept a lump sum payment in full cash.
The government says that the basic idea of using cash and coupons together has not changed, but it has stated that there are no conditions for local governments to provide full cash payments, and in fact, the policy so far. It became a form to convert.
After the supplementary budget for this year is approved, the government wants to promptly show the "implementation procedure" that will be the guideline of the system, including the case of paying with coupons.
If the benefits are given before the implementation procedure is shown, the policy is to provide subsidies to the local government after the fact and provide financial resources, unless the target person and amount are inappropriate. I want to give a boost.
