Financial Difficulties
Public Assistance (Seikatsu Hogo)
Provided to non-Japanese residents on the same basis as Japanese people based on the approval or disapproval of the central government, public assistance is for households that experience financial difficulties. With support proportionate to their level of hardship, the government helps guarantee a minimum standard of living while also promoting independent living. This includes help with the cost of living and help with medical costs needed because of injuries and illness. There are a variety of criteria to fulfil to receive public assistance. For inquiries, contact the Family and Health Services Division of the ward office of the ward written on your Resident Card or Permanent Residence Certificate.
Support when you have financial difficulties
If you experience financial difficulties (except for public assistance), contact your local Livelihood Support Center.
They are open Monday to Friday, 08:30–17:15, except for national holidays, August 6, and the New Year holidays.
