As for the 100,000 yen subsidy for all residents in Japan, here is a policy for domestic violence victims under consideration.

Most of such victims are often in hiding and do not want their address known by the offender, or they may be living in an address different from the address on their Resident Card.

So the government is planning to take this into consideration and is planning to make it available to receive the subsidy even if such residents change their registration of Resident Card after Apr. 27, which is the date that will be the basis for the provision of the subsidy.

So there will be more updates on how residents under special circumstances will be able to receive the subsidy.

I hope such victims will not be concerned about this.
