Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

Who will receive the benefits?

The eligible recipient will be the head of the eligible household (as of the reference date).

How do I receive my benefits?

As a general rule, it will be a transfer to the bank account in the name of the householder.

What should I do if the head of the household is physically disabled and cannot sign the confirmation form or application form himself?

If you have difficulty returning the confirmation letter or submitting the application form in person, a representative can do it for you.
Applications can be made on behalf of a member of the applicant's household, a legal representative, a relative, or anyone else who regularly takes care of the applicant and is specifically approved by the mayor.
In the case of a confirmation letter, please fill out the proxy information in the delegation column on the back and attach the required documents. In the case of an application, please submit a copy of the identity verification documents of the head of household and the representative.
Note: If, due to circumstances, you would like to transfer funds to a bank account other than the head of the household, please contact us.

Are foreigners eligible for benefits?

Foreigners are also eligible for the benefit if they are registered as residents of Inagi City as of the reference date (June 3, 2024) and meet all the conditions for being an "eligible household."
Note: Households with members who have filed a tax treaty application on the base date and therefore are not subject to the fixed resident tax rate are not eligible.

Are welfare recipient households eligible for benefits?

Households receiving welfare are also eligible for the payment.
Please note that this benefit will not be recognized as income when verifying the income of a person protected under the public assistance system.

I am evacuating due to domestic violence from my spouse. In a household with a resident record, the spouse received the benefit. Can I not receive benefits?

Even if a household with a resident record (spouse, etc.) has already received benefits, if you meet the requirements (proof of being evacuated from DV and income requirements), you can apply for the municipality where you currently live. You can receive benefits from the municipality.

Please be careful of scams pretending to be benefits!

Inagi City may contact you at your home, etc., but we may ask you to operate an automated teller machine (ATM), ask for your cash card or credit card PIN, or charge a fee for payment. We will never ask you to transfer money.
If you receive a suspicious phone call or mail, please contact the contact information below or the nearest police station.
