 If you have children under 15 and receive Child Allowance, you are supposed to turn in Jido Teate, Genkyo Todoke (????????????) , Child Allowance Present Condition form by the end of June in order to continue to receive the allowance for another year.  



Haven't received it yet?

If you have children under 15 and have not received the envelop, you might need to check if your registration was properly done when you moved in to Yokohama. 



In the envelop, you find:

1) A white one-sided sheet (how to fill in the form)
2) A white sheet with your name and address on (the child allowance present condition form to fill//turn in)
3) A green sheet (the announcement of the present condition form)
4) A blue-green sheet (Q&A and income limitation)
5) A green envelop (to send it by post but you need to buy an 84 yen postal stamp)


What are different from the last year's?

You don't need the inkan stamp.

Q&A
Q1. I heard that if I earn more than 12,000,000 yen par year, I can't receive the allowance.

Q2. I have sent false information online by mistake. 
A2. Please resend an application with correct information. 

Q3. When will I receive the result.
A3. We will send out the result from the end of July. It may take time depending on your condition.

Q4. I send the form by post and I want to know if it has arrived or not.
A4. You can call us (045-641-8411) and we will track your application but it usually takes about two weeks (after the arrival of your form) to be able to track where your application form is. We recommend that you use the registers mail system of Japan Post when you send it.

Point: Income Limit 
If your income is over the income limit, you will receive Special Benefit (5000 yen/child/month) regardless of the age and the number of children.
The recipient is a caretaker who support most of the expense of the child (basically the one who earns more). If your spouse earns more etc. you need to change the recipient (the department of Child and Adolescent will let you know).

The income limit differs according to the number of dependent family members and the deduction.
*Let me skip the income limit system!*
