Child Allowance (Jidō Teate)

This allowance is provided to those raising children from birth up to 18 years old.

* "Third child and onwards" refers to the third or later child among those being raised up to 22 years old (up to March 31 following their 22nd birthday).

Payments are made every April, June, August, October, December, and February, covering the amount up to the previous month.

When a child is born or when you move to Niseko from another municipality, you must submit a “Certification Request Form (Nintei Seikyūsho)”
* Please include your My Number on the form.
　　　
Documents required for certification request:

• Proof of the applicant’s and spouse’s health insurance (National Health Insurance, Employee’s Insurance, or Mutual Aid Association for Public Servants).
• Bank account document under the applicant’s name that confirms the account number.
• Other documents may be required depending on your situation.

(e.g., if the child lives separately, during divorce proceedings, if a minor guardian or designated parent is involved, or if the child is placed in a child welfare facility).

Please note that if you make any of the following changes, you will need to notify Niseko Town.
・You no longer raise a child eligible for the allowance
・The recipient, spouse, or child changes address (including moving to another municipality or overseas)
・The name of the recipient, spouse, or child changes
・You become married to someone who also raises the child, or your co-guardian spouse stops raising the child
・The pension system you are enrolled in changes (including when the recipient becomes a public servant)
・When a parent living abroad designates you as the “Designated Guardian” (Fubo Shiteisha) to raise the child in Japan
Example: If the insurance provider of the parent or guardian changes (National Health Insurance, Employee’s Insurance, or Mutual Aid Association), please bring proof of the new insurance and submit a notification.
