Use of benefit support services in the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's own benefit "018 Support" has started

Published:

In the child and childcare support "018 (Zero Ichihachi) Support" implemented by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government as its own benefit, today, on June 11, 2024, the acceptance of applications for those who are newly eligible for benefits this fiscal year has started, and the "benefit support service" has been used.

The benefit support service established in Digital Agency allows users to make a digital completion from the receipt of an application for benefits to the remittance. By scanning the My Number Card with a smartphone, residents automatically enter their personal information and public fund receiving account information, eliminating the need to attach a copy of their passbook. In addition, the administrative burden of data verification in local government is reduced. We started providing the service in February 2024. Already, in benefit, which is related to benefit and the Comprehensive Measures for Fixed-Amount Tax Reductions, we plan to use the service in about 120 local government, including local government scheduled to be used in fiscal 2023 and 2024.

In order to make it possible to use the benefit support service under 018 Support, we have worked with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and GovTech Tokyo to add a feature that automatically determines family relationships by scanning the My Number Card of parents and children with smartphones. As a result, it is not necessary to attach documents that confirm family relationships such as health insurance card.

Based on the opinions of residents and local government who have actually used the benefit support service, we will continue to make efforts to build a service that can be used by as many residents and local government as possible. In addition, we will promote the prompt and smooth operation of various benefit affairs while obtaining the cooperation of local government residents to expand the use of the service.
