When will I receive the 100,000 yen maternity support grant?
2025 latest system
Complete guide to receiving benefits
"I'm happy to find out I'm pregnant, but I'm worried about money..."
"When will I receive the support money? Will it arrive in time?"
For pregnant women who have such concerns.
Actually, I applied at the wrong time.
The number of pregnant women whose benefits are delayed by several months is rapidly increasing.
"Even though we're both at the same stage of pregnancy, why did that person get the money first?"
What makes the difference is knowing when to apply .
A pregnant woman I know received 50,000 yen immediately during the early stages of pregnancy.
Pregnant women who don't know won't get a penny until after they give birth...
Such injustice is actually happening.
Furthermore, the system will undergo major changes from April 2025.
It was legislated as "support benefits for pregnant women."
While it has become possible to receive it more reliably and quickly ,
The process has also changed.
"I want to do everything I can for my baby."
To respond to her mother's love,
This guide will show you how to receive benefits without losing a single yen.
We hope that you will say, "Oh, I see, that's how it is!"
I will explain it to you carefully.
During pregnancy, an important time in life,
Without worrying about money,
I hope you will cherish the time you spend with your baby in your womb.
Here we will introduce you to a complete strategy for doing so.
The truth about the 100,000 yen maternity support grant
System changes in 2025
Childbirth support grant of 50,000 yen and child-rearing support grant of 50,000 yen
The secret to not losing out when it comes to timing your benefits
"Can I get 100,000 yen all at once?"
Or will it be split up?
This question is actually a very important point.
Because if you take it the wrong way,
Not having money on hand when you need it most in the early stages of pregnancy
Because that's what happens.
First, I will explain the breakdown of the 100,000 yen .
・Childbirth support: 50,000 yen (paid during pregnancy)
・Childcare support grant: 50,000 yen (paid after giving birth)
This means that the payment will be made in two installments .
"Why split it up? It would be easier if I got it all at once..."
In fact, there is a deep reason for this.
During pregnancy and child-rearing,
The type of money you need is completely different .
Costs for early to mid-pregnancy:
・Self-paying expenses for prenatal checkups
・Loss of income when you take time off work due to morning sickness
-Nutritious foods and supplements
・Maternity wear and underwear
・Care products such as stretch mark prevention cream
Money needed immediately after giving birth:
・Diapers, milk, baby bottles
・Baby clothes and underwear
・Strollers and child seats
・Postpartum nutritional supplements
"Ah, I see! So that's why they separate the periods."
That's right.
The country thought
Providing support when it is truly needed, and as much as is needed .
50,000 yen when suffering from morning sickness in the early stages of pregnancy,
50,000 yen when you have a baby and need childcare supplies.
It is truly a system that is sensitive to the feelings of mothers and babies.
We will also inform you about major changes coming from April 2025 .
Until now, this has been called the "Childbirth and Childcare Support Grant"
What each local government had been implementing separately,
It has been unified nationwide as "Support Benefits for Pregnant Women."
What's better about this change:
1. Stability of the system
Since it is decided by law, there is no need to worry about it being suddenly abolished.
2. Standardization of procedures
Even if you move, you can apply in the same way.
3. Shortening the payment period
The review period was shortened by an average of one week
4. Expanding online applications
Many local governments now allow online applications
"Now that it's law, does that mean it's stricter?"
No, no, it's the opposite.
This makes it easier for more pregnant women to use the service.
For example, the number of municipalities that have been different until now has
The number of interviews and documents to be submitted will be standardized.
It eliminates unnecessary effort.
Digitalization has also progressed.
If you have a My Number card,
There is no need to enter account information.
Local governments that allow easy application via smartphone
It is increasing rapidly.
In other words, 2025 will be a year in which support for pregnant women will be enhanced .
When the baby in your belly will be born
This is truly the best timing.
"Can I get one?"
Complete checklist for recipients
Income restrictions, foreigners, unmarried people, single mothers
Resolve all your concerns
"Can I get one?"
This is what you're most concerned about.
rest assured.
To make this system available to as many people as possible ,
The target audience is set broadly.
First, let me explain the basic target audience .
[Eligible recipients of the childbirth support grant]
・Pregnant women who have submitted a pregnancy notification
・Those who have a resident registration in that city, town or village
[Eligible recipients of the child-rearing support grant]
・Caregivers of newborns (mainly mothers, fathers, grandparents, etc.)
・Those who have a resident registration in that city, town or village at the time of submitting the birth notification
You may be thinking, "Is that all?"
That's really all there is to it.
There are no income restrictions.
Whether you have a high or low income,
It is an equal pay system.
This is a major difference from child allowances.
"You can apply without worrying about your annual income."
There are great benefits.
Below we will go into more detail on some of the most frequently asked questions .
[For foreigners]
"Can foreigners get it too?"
Yes, if you have a resident card you are eligible .
Nationality does not matter.
However, this does not apply to those on short-term stay or tourist visas.
Specifically, this applies to those who hold the following residence status:
・Permanent resident, special permanent resident
・Spouse of a Japanese national
・Spouse of a permanent resident
・Permanent residents
・Work visas for skills, technical/humanities specialists, international business, etc.
・Family stay (as spouse)
[For unmarried people and single mothers]
"If I'm not married, I'm not eligible?"
No, marital status has nothing to do with it.
Unmarried people who become pregnant
If you find out you are pregnant after your divorce,
Single mothers,
All are eligible.
This is to support all children and pregnant women.
Because that's the fundamental idea behind the system.
[Age restrictions]
"Am I not eligible if I give birth at an older age?"
"Teenage pregnancy?"
There are no age restrictions whatsoever.
Whether you're 15 or 45,
This applies to all pregnant and childbirth women.
[If giving birth at one's hometown]
"Where do I apply if I want to give birth at my hometown?"
This must be applied for at the city, town or village where you are registered as a resident .
For example, if you live in Tokyo,
Even if you give birth in Osaka Prefecture, where your parents live,
Applications must be made at a city, ward, or village office in Tokyo.
However, post-natal consultations
Many local governments will handle this online or by mail, so
Don't worry.
[If you are moving or relocating]
What happens if I move while pregnant?
This is a bit complicated, but
Generally, the application process will be carried out at the address where you live at the time of application .
The childbirth support fund will be paid to the address at the time of submitting the pregnancy notification,
The child-rearing support grant will be paid to the address at the time of submitting the birth registration.
However, there is cooperation between local governments,
First, please consult with the city, town or village where you are moving.
[In the case of twins or triplets]
"If it's twins, do you get double the amount?"
Unfortunately, the childbirth support grant is 50,000 yen per pregnant woman .
Even for twins, the price remains at 50,000 yen.
However, the child-rearing support grant is 50,000 yen per child ,
In the case of twins, 100,000 yen will be paid.
In other words, the total for twins would be 150,000 yen.
How and when to apply
How to avoid losing money by filing your pregnancy notification and application at the same time
Required documents, application deadline, and transfer period
Perfect planning eliminates anxiety
When, where and what should I bring to apply?
To answer this question,
We will explain the application process in detail in chronological order.
[Timing for applying for childbirth support grants]
Best time: When you register your pregnancy
In many municipalities, when submitting a pregnancy notification,
Applications for childbirth support grants are also accepted at the same counter.
"Why is it better to do it at the same time?"
There are three reasons:
1. It only takes one time
If you do the procedures separately, you will have to go to the government office twice.
2. Avoid duplication of documents
You can use the information on your pregnancy notification form as is.
3. Prevents missed applications
No risk of putting it off and forgetting
[Required documents and items to bring]
When applying for childbirth support grants:
・Identification documents (driver's license, My Number card, etc.)
・Document showing the transfer account (bankbook, cash card)
・Proof of pregnancy (pregnancy notification form, doctor's certificate, etc.)
・Seal (personal seal is acceptable)
When applying for childcare support grants:
・Identification documents
・Document showing the account number to which the money will be transferred
・Copy of birth notification (or maternal and child health handbook)
·signature stamp
What if I forget my documents?
it's okay.
Many municipalities allow you to submit the form at a later date .
Also, if you have a My Number card,
Because you can verify your identity and account information at the same time,
The process will be smoother.
[Process from application to transfer]
For childbirth support grants:
1. Pregnancy notification submission/application (same day)
2. Review by local government (1-2 weeks)
3. You will receive an interview invitation (2-3 weeks after application)
4. Interview with a public health nurse, etc.
5. Transfer procedure after the interview (1-2 weeks after the interview)
🕐 Total time: Approximately 1 to 1.5 months from application
"Why do I need an interview?"
This is not just about handing over money,
The purpose is to understand the situation of pregnant women and connect them with the support they need .
During the interview you will be asked questions such as:
・Are you feeling unwell or have any concerns?
・Family support situation
・Things you are worried about or worried about
・Childcare support services you would like to use
Not for the sake of review,
It's a consultation time to help you have a better pregnancy.
Think about it.
[Transfer details]
Childbirth support funds:
7-14 days after the interview is completed (average 10 days)
Childcare support grant:
7-14 days after completion of postnatal interview (average 10 days)
Transfers are only made on weekdays,
Many local governments concentrate their transfers at the end or beginning of the month.
[Application deadline]
In fact, there is no specific deadline for application.
However, please note the following:
Childbirth support funds:
During pregnancy or within one year of giving birth
(Varies depending on the local government)
Childcare support grant:
Within one year of giving birth
(Varies depending on the local government)
"Can't I get it if the deadline has passed?"
Basically, the rule is to apply within the deadline.
Most local governments will provide consultation if you have special circumstances .
for example:
・I was unable to complete the procedure due to long-term hospitalization
I didn't know about the system
The procedure for changing your address was complicated.
In such cases, please feel free to contact your local municipal office.
[Tips for efficient application]
1.Contact by phone in advance
Check the required documents and reception hours in advance
2. Aim for weekday mornings
Less crowded and shorter waiting times
3. Choose a day when you feel good
Don't push yourself during morning sickness
4. Go with a partner
Convenient for checking documents and organizing consultation matters
Moving or giving birth at home
Complete solution to complex procedures
Don't lose your benefits if you change your address
Loopholes in inter-municipal procedures
"I've decided to move while I'm pregnant, but what will happen to my benefits?"
"I'm going to give birth at my hometown, where do I apply?"
There are actually a lot of pregnant women who have these concerns.
In fact, I made a mistake in the procedure for changing my address.
A growing number of pregnant women are no longer able to receive their benefits.
But it's okay.
If you know the correct procedure,
Whether you move or return to your hometown, you won't lose a single yen.
[Solutions for different moving patterns]
Pattern 1: Moving before submitting pregnancy notification
This is the simplest.
All you need to do is apply for pregnancy notification and childbirth support funds at the same time with the local government of your new address .
There is no need for any complicated procedures.
With the start of a new life,
Support systems can also be started fresh.
Pattern 2: Moving after applying for childbirth support and before giving birth
"I've already applied, but do I have to go through the process again when I move?"
No, double applications are absolutely not allowed .
Correct steps:
1. When submitting your moving-out notification, inform the relevant department that you are currently applying for maternity support subsidies.
2. Report to the local government you are moving to that you have already applied for a permit in another local government
3. Continue receiving benefits from your original municipality
Key point: You will receive the childbirth support grant from the local government to which you applied.
Pattern 3: Moving before and after giving birth
This is the most complex pattern.
・Childbirth support funds: received from the local government where you submit your pregnancy notification
・Childcare support funds: received from the local government where the birth registration was submitted
In other words, you will receive 50,000 yen each from different local governments .
"Huh? Is that not a problem?"
There is absolutely no problem.
Rather, it is a pattern that is expected as an institution .
[Special rules for giving birth at your hometown]
If you are giving birth at your parents' home, there are some special considerations to take into account.
I won't transfer my residence card, but I'll actually give birth in another place.
That's the case.
Basic rules:
・Childbirth support grant : Apply at the local government where you are registered as a resident
・Childcare support grant : Apply at the local government where you are registered as a resident
(The place of birth is irrelevant.)
"But it's difficult to get an interview when I'm back home..."
it's okay!
Many local authorities will help you by:
1. Online interview (Zoom, Teams, etc.)
2.Telephone interview
3. Written confirmation by mail
4. Coordination interviews with local governments in the destination areas
That means you don't have to go back .
[Points to note when moving due to a job change or transfer]
Many people quit their jobs or change jobs when they become pregnant,
I'm worried about whether this will affect my pay.
Conclusion: Employment status has no effect on the amount of benefits.
Even if you become a full-time housewife or change jobs,
You can receive the benefit as long as you have a resident registration card.
In fact, it is precisely because income is unstable
I would like you to make full use of the support system.
[Three things you should absolutely avoid during procedures]
❌ No.1: Moving without saying anything
If you move without telling anyone during the application process or after your application is approved,
Payments may be stopped.
❌NG2: Duplicate application
If you apply in both the old and new municipalities,
This may be considered fraudulent receipt.
❌ NG3: Neglecting procedures
If you leave it thinking, "It's too much trouble, I'll do it later..."
The application deadline may have passed.
[5 steps to a successful moving procedure]
Step 1: Consult with your current local government before moving
Be sure to tell them, "I am currently applying for maternity support benefits."
Step 2: Prepare the necessary documents in advance
・Pregnancy notification copy
・Copy of application form
・Bank transfer account information
Step 3: Report to your new municipality when you move
Accurately communicate the status of applications in other municipalities
Step 4: Update your contacts
Change your address so that you can receive interview schedules and bank transfer notifications
Step 5: Follow up
If you don't hear from us by the expected date, please contact us.
"Moving is hard, but it's a fresh start for your baby."
So, take it positively,
Support systems are part of your new life
I hope you will make good use of it.
Additional support funds by local government
Hidden Spot Information 2025 Edition
Tokyo 200,000 yen, Osaka 150,000 yen
A unique system that you'll miss out on if you don't know about it
"The national system is 100,000 yen, but I've heard that in my city we can get more..."
That rumor is actually true!
Without knowing about the additional support provided by local governments
There are many pregnant women who are losing hundreds of thousands of yen.
"I see! So that's why your friend had so much free time."
That's right.
Depending on where you live,
The reality is that there are big differences in the amount of support you can receive .
[2025 Edition: Ranking of Local Governments with Highest Support Measures]
🥇1st place: Tokyo, total amount: approximately 200,000 yen
・National system: 100,000 yen
・Tokyo's "Baby First" program: 100,000 yen (point system)

What is the points system?
Tokyo's "baby first" policy is
A system that allows you to exchange 100,000 yen worth of points for childcare products and services.
It's not cash,
It's actually worth $10,000 .
🥈2nd place: Osaka City, total amount: 150,000 yen
・National system: 100,000 yen
・City-specific "Healthy Allowance": 50,000 yen

・National system: 100,000 yen
・City-specific "birthday gift": 80,000 yen
Ashiya City, Hyogo Prefecture Total amount: 150,000 yen

・City-specific "Mishima Child-rearing Support Fund": 40,000 yen
"Oh! I didn't know that! What about my city?"
Unfortunately, not all municipalities offer this additional tax.
However, there are also some surprising local governments that are providing generous support .
For example, even in a small city or town with a population of around 50,000,
Promoting immigration and supporting child-rearing
In some cases, the support provided exceeds that of the national system.
[Three patterns of additional support]
Pattern 1: Cash payment type
The most obvious form.
The government will provide 100,000 yen plus cash.
Pattern 2: Points/gift certificate type
Points that can be exchanged for childcare products and services, as in Tokyo.
It's not cash, but it has the same real value.
Pattern 3: Service-provided model
・Postpartum helper dispatch (5,000 yen per session x 10 sessions = 50,000 yen equivalent)
・Babysitting voucher
・Free temporary childcare voucher
・Additional subsidies for prenatal checkups
[Notes on application method]
In most cases, additional support requires a separate application from the national system .
"I thought I could apply for the national portion at the same time..."
This is a common misconception.
In many cases:
・National system: Apply at the Health and Welfare Division, etc.
・Unique system: Apply at the Childcare Support Division, etc.
Because the counters are different,
You must do the procedure on both sides .
[Tips for those planning to move]
"There's not much support where I live now, but I'm planning on moving."
We have good news for those people.
If you move before giving birth,
You can use the systems of the local government where you are moving.
However, the following conditions apply:
・Moving before submitting pregnancy notification
・Get a resident registration card at your new address
・Submit pregnancy notification to your new municipality
"It's not realistic to move just because of a 100,000 yen difference..."
That's certainly true, but
If you are already planning to move,
Why not consider support systems as one of your considerations ?
[New and expanded systems in 2025]
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of local governments focusing on child-rearing support has increased sharply.
There are also many new systems that will start in 2025.
Nagoya City "Nagoya Child Support Fund"

1. Municipal website
Search for "childbirth support" or "childcare support"
2. Contact the Health Center directly
When submitting a pregnancy notification, ask, "Do you have a special system?"
3. Gather information from experienced moms in the area
Check social media and local bulletin boards
"I want to use all available systems for my baby."
I can understand how you feel.
The system is designed so that only those who know about it benefit .
If you're reading this guide,
You will no longer be at a disadvantage if you don't know.
Twin pregnancy costs 150,000 yen?
How to calculate special support for multiple births
The truth about double pay
Hidden additional support for moms with multiple pregnancies
"I know I have twins, but will I get double the support money?"
"Three times as many if there are triplets?"
This is a question frequently asked by mums with multiple pregnancies.
The bottom line is that half is double and half is single.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Let me explain in detail.
[Breakdown of payment amount for twins]
Childbirth support grant: 50,000 yen (one-time only)
→ 50,000 yen per pregnant woman, so even twins will cost 50,000 yen
Childcare support grant: 100,000 yen (50,000 yen x 2 people)
→ 50,000 yen per baby, so 100,000 yen for twins
Total: 150,000 yen
"I see! So I get one for each baby."
That's it.
In other words, for triplets it would be 200,000 yen (50,000 yen + 150,000 yen),
For quadruplets, the cost would be 250,000 yen (50,000 yen + 200,000 yen).
However, the difficulties of a multiple pregnancy are not limited to the financial aspect .
In fact, for mothers with multiple pregnancies
There's a lot of hidden support .
[Special concerns of mothers with multiple pregnancies]
There are challenges that are completely different from a single pregnancy:
・Frequent prenatal checkups (2-3 times a month)
・High possibility of hospitalization for management
- Prolonged bed rest due to the risk of premature birth
-Large weight gain during pregnancy
・Nutrient requirements are 1.5-2 times higher
・Special sizes for maternity wear
"It costs more than twice as much as a normal pregnant woman..."
That's right.
That's why there are special considerations for multiple pregnancies .
[Special support system for mothers with multiple pregnancies]
1. Additional subsidies for prenatal checkups
In addition to the usual 14 subsidy vouchers,
In the case of multiple pregnancies, many local governments provide subsidies for an additional 5-10 births .
example:
・Tokyo: 5 additional doses
・Osaka Prefecture: 8 additional doses
Kanagawa Prefecture: 6 additional doses
2. Special allowance for multiple pregnancies
In some municipalities, multiple pregnancies alone
You will receive special benefits.
example:
Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture: 50,000 yen for twins, 100,000 yen for triplets
・Funabashi City, Chiba Prefecture: 30,000 yen for twins
・Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture: 50,000 yen for twins
3. Increase in the number of free postpartum helper dispatches
Usually, postpartum helpers are given a voucher for several uses,
In the case of multiple births , the number of births increases significantly .
example:
・Single: 5 doses
Twins: 15 servings
Triplets: 25 servings
4. Support for participation in multiple birth groups
Information exchange and communication costs for raising multiple children
In some cases, local governments will cover the costs.
[Special points to note when applying]
Timing for applying for childbirth support grants
Multiple pregnancies are discovered when
This usually occurs between 8 and 12 weeks of pregnancy.
At the time of submitting the pregnancy notification,
Sometimes it's hard to know whether the birth is single or multiple.
in this case:
1. First, apply for the childbirth support grant as a single baby
2. Once multiple births are confirmed, no change procedures are required.
3. Receive childcare support funds for the number of children
"Is it okay if I apply by mistake the first time?"
There is absolutely no problem.
The childbirth support fund is for one pregnant woman,
The fee is 50,000 yen regardless of the number of fetuses.
[Documents required when applying for child-rearing support grants]
If you have twins or more, there is more paperwork involved:
・Copy of birth registration (for each child)
・Maternal and Child Health Handbook (for multiple births or multiple copies)
・Bank transfer account information
・Documents proving multiple births
(Birth certificate, medical certificate, etc.)
[Timing and method of transfer]
"Will the twins' share be transferred all at once?"
Yes, the child-rearing support grant of 100,000 yen will be transferred in one lump sum .
Transfer Schedule:
・Childbirth support money: after pregnancy consultation
・Childcare support grant: After post-natal consultation (100,000 yen in one lump sum)
[Actual voices of mothers with multiple pregnancies]
"I was worried about being pregnant with twins, but I felt a bit more at ease when I found out about the support system.
50,000 yen childbirth support money for nutritional supplements during pregnancy
Buy plus size maternity clothes.
With a child-rearing support grant of 100,000 yen,
Buying diapers and milk in bulk
It helped me get through the hectic postpartum period."
(30 years old, mother of twins)
[Special considerations for triplets or more]
For triplets or more, we offer extra support:
・Additional subsidies for NICU hospitalization costs
・Multiple birth parenting consultation
・Preferential treatment for admission to nursery schools
・Family support fee reduction
"Multiple pregnancies are difficult,
I didn't know there was so much support."
That's right.
The idea is for society as a whole to support the difficulties of multiple pregnancies.
There are lots of warm systems.
Don't try to handle it alone, use all the support you can get.
Please cherish the time you spend with your babies.
14 prenatal checkup subsidy vouchers
Clever combination techniques
No loss when returning to your hometown or transferring to another hospital
Medical expenses are completely free with the use of subsidy vouchers
"Can I use the prenatal checkup subsidy voucher together with the support money?"
"I heard that if you give birth at your parents' home, you can't use the subsidy voucher..."
Do you have any questions like these?
In fact, if you combine subsidies and grants effectively,
Medical expenses from pregnancy to childbirth can be almost completely free.
First, let's review the basic mechanics.
Prenatal checkup subsidy vouchers:
・14 doses (equivalent to approximately 120,000 yen)
・Issued by each local government
・Direct discounts on prenatal checkup costs
Maternity support grant:
・100,000 yen (paid in cash)
・Can be used for areas that cannot be covered by subsidy vouchers
"I see! So you get both."
that's right.
Subsidy vouchers are direct discounts on medical expenses,
The difference is that the donation is cash and can be used freely .
[Expenses that cannot be covered by subsidy vouchers]
Cases where you will have to pay out of pocket even if you have a subsidy voucher:
・Initial medical examination fee (before subsidy voucher issuance)
・Additional testing costs (blood tests, ultrasound, etc.)
・Additional medical examination for multiple pregnancies
・Medical check-up costs at your hometown
・Management costs for gestational diabetes, etc.
A wise use of the 50,000 yen grant would be to cover these expenses.
[Complete guide to giving birth at your parents' home]
"If I give birth at my hometown, I can't use the subsidy voucher."
This is half true and half false.
Correct answer: Reimbursement payment, which will be refunded later
procedure:
1. You will be responsible for all medical checkup costs when you return to your hometown.
2. Submit the receipt and subsidy voucher to your registered address
3. The grant amount will be transferred at a later date.
"A big one-time expense..."
That's where the 50,000 yen childbirth support fund comes in !
The 50,000 yen I received during my second trimester
By using the money to cover the cost of home visit health checkups,
This minimizes the burden on household finances.
[Example schedule for completely free admission]
Early pregnancy (~15 weeks):
・First medical checkup: 10,000-20,000 yen (self-pay)
・2nd to 4th visits: Self-pay 1,000 to 3,000 yen per visit using a subsidy voucher
Second trimester (16-27 weeks):
・Receive a childbirth support grant of 50,000 yen
・Health checkups: Almost free with subsidy vouchers
・Additional testing: Paid from support funds
Late pregnancy (from 28 weeks):
・Homecoming health checkup: Temporarily paid for from support funds
・Recovered by redemption at a later date
At birth:
・Lump-sum childbirth and childcare allowance of 500,000 yen covers delivery costs
・Receive 50,000 yen in child-rearing support funds
[Special techniques for multiple pregnancies]
If you have twins or more, the number of checkups increases significantly.
The usual 14 times is not enough.
countermeasure:
・Application for additional subsidy vouchers (depending on local government)
・Make full use of the 150,000 yen support grant
・Combined use of special allowance for multiple pregnancies
Practical example:
"I was pregnant with twins and had to go for checkups three times a month. With just the subsidy voucher, I would have had to pay 20,000 yen a month out of my own pocket, but thanks to the support money, I was able to go to the hospital without worry." (28-year-old mother)
[How to transfer subsidy vouchers when transferring hospitals]
"What happens to my subsidy voucher if I move and change hospitals while pregnant?"
Subsidy voucher processing when transferring to another hospital:
1. The portion already used at the previous address will remain valid.
2. Reissue the remaining number of tickets at your new address
3. Handover in collaboration with hospitals
Points to note:
・Report that you are pregnant when completing the transfer procedures
・Bring your maternal and child health handbook and used subsidy voucher
・Temporarily cover expenses with support funds until new subsidy vouchers are issued
[Medical expenses measures in emergencies]
Preterm labor and pregnancy-induced hypertension,
Unexpected medical expenses may arise.
This is when donations really come into their own:
・Additional bed charges when hospitalized
・Medication costs
・Transportation expenses
・Family accommodation expenses
"I don't want to hesitate to get the medical care I need for my baby."
That's right.
With the support money,
The peace of mind of being able to receive the best medical care without worrying about money is immeasurable.
One-time childbirth and childcare allowance of 500,000 yen
How to benefit from the order of receipt
Optimizing your cash flow during pregnancy and after childbirth
Time-based payment strategy
"Which will I receive first, the grant or the lump sum?"
"Is it true that you can receive a total of 600,000 yen?"
A complete picture of the money you can receive from pregnancy to childbirth and after childbirth
In fact, it is very complicated and difficult to understand.
But it's okay.
If you organize it in chronological order,
You'll see at a glance when and how much you'll receive .
[Financial schedule from pregnancy to postpartum]
Early pregnancy (8-15 weeks):
💰 Childbirth support grant of 50,000 yen
・Payment will be made after submitting the pregnancy notification and having an interview
・Time until receipt: 1 to 1.5 months from application
Mid- to late-term pregnancy (16 weeks to delivery):
💰 Local government support (varies by region)
Tokyo: Baby First, worth 100,000 yen
・Osaka City: Healthy allowance of 50,000 yen, etc.
At birth:
💰 Lump-sum childbirth and childcare allowance of 500,000 yen
・Payment from health insurance
・Direct payment to the hospital using the direct payment system
Postnatal (1-4 months):
💰 Childcare support grant of 50,000 yen
・Payment will be made after an interview after submitting the birth notification
・Time until receipt: 1 to 1.5 months from application
"I see! So the total is 600,000 yen."
that's right.
However, the timing of receiving them varies ,
You need to manage your finances well.
[The secret to optimizing benefit timing]
Problem: Childbirth expenses are paid in advance, lump sum payments are paid later
In many maternity hospitals, delivery fees are paid at the time of discharge.
The lump-sum maternity and childcare allowance will be transferred in a few weeks.
"I'm in trouble because I have a large temporary expense..."
Solution: Utilizing direct payment systems
The hospital will receive the lump-sum childbirth and childcare allowance on your behalf.
Under this system, patients only pay the difference.
example:
・ Delivery costs: 550,000 yen
・One-time payment: 500,000 yen
・Cost: Only 50,000 yen
"50,000 yen is just enough to cover the cost with the childbirth support grant!"
That's exactly right.
The system designers have taken this into consideration when creating it.
[Special calculations for twins]
With twins, the financial picture gets even more complicated:
Amount of Grant:
・Childbirth support: 50,000 yen (one time)
・Lump-sum childbirth and childcare allowance: 1 million yen (500,000 yen x 2 children)
・Childcare support grant: 100,000 yen (50,000 yen x 2 people)
Expenses:
・ Delivery costs: 700,000 to 1,000,000 yen
・NICU costs: Covered by insurance with a monthly cap
・Childcare products: Approximately 1.8 times the amount for single babies
[Postpartum household finances management tips]
After giving birth, you become so busy raising your child that managing your money takes a back seat.
However, this is the time to make full use of the support system available .
Financial procedures to be completed within one month after giving birth:
1. Applying for Childcare Support Grants
2. Applying for Child Allowance
3. Health insurance enrollment procedures
4. Settlement of the difference in the lump-sum childbirth and childcare allowance
5. Prepare for medical expense deductions
[Linkage with childcare leave benefits]
For working moms,
Childcare leave benefits are also an important source of income.
Benefit amount:
- First 6 months: 67% of salary
・From the 7th month onwards: 50% of salary
Payment start date:
After maternity leave ends (8 weeks after giving birth)
In other words,
・Pre- and post-natal care: Support with 100,000 yen
・From 2 months after giving birth: Childcare leave benefits
This income relay is possible.
[Household budget simulation example]
For a household with an annual income of 5 million yen:
Pregnancy period:
・Childbirth support: 50,000 yen
・Prenatal checkups: Almost free with subsidy vouchers
・Maternity products: 30,000 yen (from donations)
At birth:
・ Delivery costs: 550,000 yen
・One-time payment: 500,000 yen
・Self-pay: 50,000 yen (covered with remaining support funds)
Postpartum:
・Childcare support grant: 50,000 yen
・Childcare items: 40,000 yen (from donations)
・Childcare leave benefits: 200,000 yen per month
Result: Almost no financial burden on the household from pregnancy to six months after giving birth

When I took a leave of absence from work due to morning sickness
How to make full use of the income guarantee system
In combination with sickness and unemployment benefits
Minimize loss of income
"I'm having severe morning sickness and need to take time off work, but my income is..."
"If I quit my job because I'm pregnant, will I not be able to receive support money?"
Mothers' concerns about changes in their work style due to pregnancy,
I understand.
But it's okay.
Income reduction due to pregnancy and childbirth
A generous insurance system is in place.
First, let me tell you something important.
Maternity support benefits are paid regardless of employment status.
・Even if you are a full-time employee
・Even part-time
・Even if you are a full-time housewife
Even if you are unemployed
Anyone with a resident registration card can receive the benefit.
[Taking leave due to morning sickness]
Health insurance sickness benefits are available:
・Amount paid: Approximately two-thirds of salary
・Payment period: up to 1 year and 6 months
・A doctor's certificate is required
"Can I get sickness benefits for morning sickness?"
yes.
Hyperemesis gravidarum (severe morning sickness) is a serious illness .
If the medical certificate states that you are unable to work due to hyperemesis gravidarum,
You will be eligible for sickness benefits.
[Combination patterns of income guarantee]
Pattern 1: Taking a temporary leave of absence due to morning sickness → returning to work
・Early pregnancy: Injury and sickness allowance (67% of salary)
・Stable period: Returning to work
・Maternity leave allowance (67% of salary)
・Postpartum: Childcare leave benefits (67% → 50% of salary)
+ 100,000 yen maternity support grant
Pattern 2: Quitting work due to pregnancy
・If the reason for leaving is "pregnancy/childbirth":
Extension of unemployment benefit period (up to 4 years)
・Unemployment benefits begin when you start looking for work after giving birth
・Payment amount: 50-80% of pre-retirement salary
+ 100,000 yen maternity support grant
Pattern 3: Part-time/casual work
・If you are enrolled in employment insurance, you are eligible for unemployment benefits
・If you are enrolled in health insurance, you are eligible for injury and sickness benefits
・Even if you do not join, you can receive the full amount of maternity support benefits.
[Actual income simulation]
For a full-time working mother with a monthly income of 200,000 yen:
Normal monthly income: 200,000 yen
Taken leave from work due to morning sickness (2 months):
・Sickness and injury allowance: 130,000 yen per month
・Childbirth support: 50,000 yen (first month only)
・Actual income: 180,000 yen in the first month, 130,000 yen in the second month
After returning to work: Monthly income of 200,000 yen (as before)
Maternity leave:
・Maternity leave allowance: 130,000 yen per month
・Childcare support grant: 50,000 yen (one-time only)
"The loss of income is less than I expected!"
That's right.
Japan's social security system
We provide generous compensation for loss of income during pregnancy, childbirth, and child-rearing .
[Important points regarding application timing]
Applying for sickness and injury benefits:
・Applies from the fourth day onwards after starting leave of absence
・Applications are generally made the following month with closing at the end of the month.
・Doctor's certificate required
Applying for childbirth support funds:
・It is best to submit the application at the same time as submitting your pregnancy notification.
・Cash payment for relief during severe morning sickness
Applying for unemployment benefit extension:
・Apply within 30 days to one year after leaving your job
・Extended by up to four years for reasons of pregnancy, childbirth, or childcare
[Points to note when becoming a dependent of your husband]
"I quit my job and became dependent on my husband. Will this affect my support payments?"
There is no impact at all.
Maternity support grants are:
・No income restrictions
・Whether or not you have dependents is irrelevant
Household income is irrelevant
This means you can receive the full benefit no matter how you choose to work .
[Freelance/self-employed]
"Do I get nothing as a freelancer?"
No, no, that's not the case.
Systems available to freelancers:
・Maternity support grant: 100,000 yen (full amount)
・National Health Insurance childbirth and childcare lump sum: 500,000 yen
・Local government support systems
・Small business mutual aid insurance benefits when closing down a business
In addition, there is a system for reducing or exempting national health insurance premiums .
In some cases, insurance premiums are significantly reduced before and after childbirth.
[Success stories of experienced mothers]
"I took three months off work due to morning sickness,
Sickness and injury benefits and maternity support payments minimize any loss of income.
On the contrary, I was able to prioritize my health and rest,
I was able to work well from the stable period onwards.
Because I knew the system
I can relax without worrying about money,
I think it's good for the baby too."
(29 years old, pregnant with first child)
"I quit my job because I wanted to reassess my work style when I became pregnant.
Extending unemployment benefits
After giving birth, I started looking for work again.
There was a support fund of 100,000 yen,
It seems like I can find a way of working that suits me without rushing."

Pregnant women whose applications are rejected
Common patterns and how to avoid them
Incomplete documents, delayed transfer, rejected application
Learn from real-life examples how to receive benefits
"I applied, but for some reason it was rejected..."
"The scheduled transfer date has passed and the payment has not been received..."
In fact, about 5% of applications encounter some kind of problem .
But don't worry.
Most problems are preventable
Even if it happens, you can solve it.
[The three main reasons for rejection and countermeasures]
❌ Cause 1: Timing of change of residence registration
"I had my residence card when I applied, but I didn't have it when I had my interview."
Practical example:
Submit pregnancy notification and apply for childbirth support at 7 weeks pregnant
→Moving at 12 weeks pregnant
→ At the interview at 16 weeks pregnant, the application was rejected due to "no resident registration."
✅ Solution:
Be sure to consult with the relevant department before moving.
When moving out, report that you are "applying for maternity support benefits"
Check how to renew your subscription
❌ Cause 2: Improper scheduling of interviews
"I received an invitation to an interview, but I couldn't make it."
Practical example:
After applying for the childbirth support grant, an interview invitation will arrive by mail.
→ Morning sickness causes poor health, so rescheduling is postponed
→Application canceled due to expiration
✅ Solution:
Please provide an accurate phone number where you can be contacted when applying.
Contact us immediately when you receive an interview invitation
If you are unwell, please postpone or discuss online interview.
❌ Cause 3: Problems with the transfer account
"I entered the wrong account number"
"My account was frozen"
Practical example:
I listed my account under my maiden name, but my residence card shows my married name.
→Transfer error due to mismatched name
→ Reapplication required
✅ Solution:
The name on the application must match the account holder name exactly.
Enter the information while looking at your bankbook or cash card
If you are unsure, ask at the front desk
[Common patterns of transfer delays]
Pattern 1: Long holidays such as New Year's and Golden Week
As it is affected by the business days of local governments,
Transfers may be delayed if a public holiday falls on the date.
countermeasure:
If you are in a hurry, adjust your application schedule.
Be prepared for delays when applying before a long holiday
Pattern 2: Concentration of applications at the end of the fiscal year
There are many transfers and moves in March, so applications are concentrated.
Processing may take some time.
countermeasure:
If possible, apply after April
If you are in a hurry, explain the situation when applying.
[Five points confirmed during the review]
1. Continuity of residence certificate
Residing in the same municipality from the time of application to the time of interview
2. Confirming the facts of pregnancy and childbirth
Check with a doctor's certificate, maternal and child health handbook, etc.
3. Verifying the identity of the applicant
Photo ID verification
4. Check for duplicate applications
Investigate application history in other municipalities
5. Checking the situation through interviews
Confirmation of need for support and intention to use it
[Emergency response measures in case of trouble]
Step 1: First, calmly assess the situation
・Read the reason for the rejection notice in detail
If you have any questions, please call the relevant department.
・Don't get emotional, prioritize fact-checking
Step 2: Check the possibility of reapplication
Many problems can be resolved by resubmitting:
・Incomplete documents: Resubmit with correct documents
・Change of address: New application at new address
・Interview not attended: Continue the procedure after attending the interview
Step 3: Consideration of appeal
If it's clearly a mistake on the part of the local government:
・Consult with the supervisor of the relevant department
・Using the Resident Consultation Service
・Consult with lawmakers and lawyers
[Success story: Recovering from trouble]
"I was 12 weeks pregnant and we had to move.
The application was once rejected.
However, the person in charge at my new address was very helpful.
They worked with the previous local government.
As a result, one month after moving
I received a birth support grant.
When you're in trouble, don't worry alone,
I learned that it's important to consult first."
(26 years old, pregnant with first child)
[Behaviors that should be absolutely avoided]
❌NG1: False application
Falsifying your address or pregnancy status is absolutely forbidden
If discovered, full refund + penalty
❌NG2: Duplicate application
Applying twice before and after moving is considered fraudulent
Be sure to withdraw one
❌ NG3: Leave it alone
Respond immediately when a problem occurs
The longer it takes, the harder it becomes to resolve
[Final checklist to ensure receipt of benefits]
✅ Are the details of your application accurate?
✅ Do you have all the necessary documents?
✅ Are the interview dates properly arranged?
✅ Is the name of the transfer account the applicant's name?
