When you have trouble with your daily life - a system that supports your daily life
Last Updated March 28, 2024
If you have a problem with your life, early consultation is the key to solving.
The Life Support Division accepts not only consultations on whether or not social security can be used, but also consultations for those who are having difficulty living.
About social security
social security calculates the amount necessary to guarantee the minimum living of the household every month and pays the shortfall in income.

◆FAQs
Q: Will my family and relatives know when I apply for social security?
A: Before inquiring your relatives about the possibility of help, we will always ask you if you can make an inquiry. Please be assured that we will not ignore circumstances such as DV or abuse and make dependent inquiries.
Q: Is it true that protection costs will be reduced if you work?
A: social security is a system that pays the shortfall in household income, so income from employment should be allocated to the living expenses of social security. In addition, there are deductions according to the amount of salary.
Q: Don't you spend your money on your hobbies and entertainment?
A: It does not matter if you use it within the range of living expenses. I'd like to have a plan.
Q: Can't I apply unless my money or savings are lost?
A: Depending on the amount of money, it may be decided not to use protection, but consultation and application can be made regardless of the amount. It is a common misunderstanding that even a small amount of deposits and savings will not be protected. Please contact us as soon as possible.
