Currently, the Japanese government is proceeding with preparations for the Teigaku Kyuufukin (Cash Handout Plan) for those who are eligible to receive it.
Any non-Japanese person is also eligible to receive it through each municipal office where he or she is living as long as his or her name is on the list of Alien Registration as of Feb.1st, 2009.
It would be a good opportunity to remind those who are living / going to live in Japan for a certain period that they must go to the ward office and register their names when they move in. It is an indispensable procedure in order for non-Japanese to live in Japan with greater comfort and ease and it is also a legal requirement.
