Child Allowances in Japan

For those of you who have relocated to Japan with children, please do be aware that you are eligible for the same "Child Allowances" that Japanese citizens receive.

There is no income cieling set on the Child Allowances; just a very complicated application process at your local ward office.

The allowance is a flat 13,000 yen fee for each child under the age of Junior High School (15 years of age). Furthermore, it was just announced that for children up to the age of 3, an additional 7,000 yen will be paid, or 20,000 yen per month.

For more details about yesterday's announcement for children up to the age of 3 years, please see the following; http://search.japantimes.co.jp/mail/nn20101203a7.html
