As the impact of the new corona is prolonged, the government and the ruling party are planning to provide new benefits, saying that it is necessary to support pensioners whose benefits are decreasing, and are adjusting to pay 5,000 yen per person. increase.
The amount of pension payments is revised every year according to fluctuations in prices and wages, and it has been decided that the amount will be reduced by 0.4% from the next month of the new year.
The government and the ruling party are planning to set up a new "temporary special benefit" because it is necessary to support pensioners whose amount of benefits is decreasing while the influence of the new corona is prolonged.
Specifically, we are adjusting to pay 5,000 yen per person only once to about 26 million people, including the elderly who are receiving pensions.
On the other hand, households that are not taxed by the inhabitant tax, which has already received another support measure, will not be covered, and the financial resources expected to be over 100 billion yen will be allocated to the reserve fund of this year's budget.
The creation of new benefits seems to have the aim of appealing to the elderly in preparation for the summer Upper House election.
