Regarding the benefits equivalent to 100,000 yen to those under the age of 18, the government has put together a guideline that specifies three methods, such as a lump sum payment in full cash within the year.
The government plans to notify the local government within the 15th.
On the 14th, the government put together a guideline showing a concrete method for benefits worth 100,000 yen to those under the age of 18.
In addition to the originally planned method of distributing 50,000 yen worth of coupons after first paying 50,000 yen in cash, the guideline is a method of paying 50,000 yen in cash in two installments, and within the year. Three methods of paying 100,000 yen in cash in a lump sum are specified.
The government has said that some local governments are willing to use coupons, and the basic idea is to use both cash and coupons, but the policy is not to set uniform conditions for cash payments.
Prime Minister Kishida said at the Budget Committee of the House of Representatives on the 14th, "We have prepared a system that local governments can choose from, so I would like them to actively select the system from the standpoint of each local government."
He also stated that he would like to deliver the guidelines within a day or two, and expressed his intention to notify the local government within the 15th.
On the other hand, the local governments whose guidelines are presented at this time have some variations in their response, such as announcing a lump sum payment of cash within the year and the fact that the administrative procedures are not in time and the lump sum payment within the year is difficult.
After the enactment of the supplementary budget for this year, the government will show the implementation procedure of the system to local governments nationwide, but if you move to a local government that has not yet received benefits after receiving 100,000 yen in cash, Since there are concerns that it will be double-received, we are rushing to design a concrete system.
