Teigaku kyufukin (定額給付金, Supplementary income payment)

The government of Japan has decided to give us all 12,000 yen to help spend our way out of The Great Recession. To that end, you will be sent a teigaku kyufukin shinseisho (application) so long as you were a registered alien as of February 1st, 2009.

For Kobe, the envelope looks like this.

Inside you should find your application and instructions. These are the instructions for Kobe.

Step 1. Fill out your application. See below for the details on the application.

Step 2. Photocopy your ID (alien registration card, driver's license, insurance card)

Step 3. Photocopy the first page of your bank book (the one that shows your name and account) or your bank card.

Step 4. Put the application and photocopies in the provided envelope and send it off. You will find in Kobe that the envelope is actually too small for the application. Fold the application up so you can cram it in there and send it off.
