Due to the increasing number of children in Japan, the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan's Survey on Countermeasures against Births recently proposed that in order to reduce the economic burden on families with more than two children, it advocates increasing child allowances. In addition to high-income families, the second child is up to 30,000 yen per month, and the third child is increased by 60,000 yen.
It can be seen that in order to increase the fertility rate, the Japanese government has really changed its economic tricks to provide various preferential policies to the people.
So today, let's talk about what other subsidies can be applied for when giving birth to a baby in Japan, in addition to the basic birth and childcare temporary gold, the birth hand payment, and the childcare leave payment? Missing out is really a big loss!
01. Pregnancy test coupon
When receiving the mother and child handbook, you will be given a pregnancy test voucher subsidy form at the same time.
Every time at the time of the pregnancy test, if you take the subsidy voucher, you probably only need to pay a few thousand yen.
02. High-value limited medical insurance
If the birth is due to planing, health insurance can be applied. There is also a high-value limited insurance in the health insurance.
In other words, according to your salary, it will be decided how much medical expenses you will pay in a month. If your limit is 100,000 yen, no matter how much medical expenses you spend, you will only pay the maximum amount.
03. Injury and illness medical insurance system
If you are hospitalized early due to high blood pressure, high blood sugar and other problems before the due date of delivery, you can apply for injury and illness medical insurance. Of course, this system is also applicable to mothers who have jobs and insurance from the company.
The application method is to require the resident doctor to sign and write down the reason for hospitalization, and then hand over the materials to the company, the company's personnel will give you an application, and the amount given is also determined according to your monthly salary.
04. Subsidies for postpartum services
There are three postpartum service subsidies, namely the "confinement" subsidy for one week after childbirth, the physical examination in the postpartum month and the postpartum breast care three times.
"Confinement" subsidy: Japanese people do not do confinement, but they have so-called postpartum support, which is called "産後ケア" in Japanese. The project is similar to the domestic confinement center project, and the amount of money is about 30,000 yen a day.
The local health center will give you a corresponding subsidy for one week, and this week, you only need to pay 5,000 yen per day.
Physical exams: We all know that we have a follow-up every month after giving birth. Take a look at how your body recovers after childbirth. If you take the postpartum medical examination paper to the re-examination, it is free of charge.
Breast care: Many moms will say that the most painful thing is not to have a baby, but to open and block the milk. The General Health Institute will give you 3 grant rolls.
If you go to the hospital with a subsidy roll, you will pay about 3,000-5,000 yen (about 180-250 yuan). Depending on where you live locally, the amount paid varies.
05. Tokyo Metropolitan Government limited production support
It should be noted that this item is only available to friends who live in Tokyo! After the birth of the child, a card will be sent home about a month later, with 100,000 yen of points.
With this card, you can change things on the designated website, basically everything for children, strollers, cribs, etc. can be changed.
Mothers who have not yet got the card, you can first look at the website, some things can wait for the card to be issued and then exchanged, do not need to stock up in advance.
Of course, each city and each district will also have different subsidies, and you need to consult your own local health center. Some places will give you a subsidized car card, which is for you to use on the tram during the maternity check-up. There are also places that will subsidize 10,000 yuan of rolls, which can be used in the mall.
Come and talk to Xiaomei, do you have any special baby allowance there?
