What is the age eligibility for receiving the Fukuoka Prefecture Child-rearing Support Payment?
You can receive the payment for children aged 0 to 18 who were born in the period beginning April 2, 2007, and ending March 31, 2026.
If I moved out of Fukuoka Prefecture between October 1, 2025, and March 31, 2026, will I be eligible for the payment?

I received the national support allowance from a municipality within Fukuoka Prefecture, but I haven’t received any notification from the prefecture concerning this payment. Do I need to do anything to receive the payment?

As a general rule, we will send the payment notification to the address you had at the time you received the allowance. If you have not received the notification, please contact the Fukuoka Prefecture Child-rearing Support Payment Call Center (Tel: 092-401-1685).
Why does the number of eligible children listed on the payment notification does not include newborns born on or after October 1, 2025?
For newborns born on or after October 1, 2025, who are eligible for the national support allowance, the application process differs from that for siblings; therefore, payment notifications may be sent in multiple installments. In such cases, the total number of eligible children listed on each payment notification will correspond to the actual number of children.
I got married (or divorced) after receiving the national support allowance and have changed my last name and the name on the bank account used for payments. Do I need to take any further action?
The “Recipient’s Name” and “Bank Account Details” listed on the payment notification for the Fukuoka Prefecture Child-rearing Support Payment are based on the information provided when you received the national Child-Rearing Support Allowance.
If you have changed your last name since receiving the national Support Allowance, it will cause an error in the system and your payment will not be processed. Please follow the procedures to change your account holder’s name here.
Note that when updating your details, you must attach a copy of an abstract of your family register (showing both your former and current last names).
*You cannot change the account to one belonging to anyone other than the eligible recipient.
The recipient of the national support allowance has passed away. In this case, do I need to complete any procedures?
Current recipients of the Child Allowance are eligible for this payment. We need to verify your eligibility, so please contact the Fukuoka Prefecture Child-rearing Support Payment Call Center (Tel: 092-401-1685).
I live in a rental property, and I received a payment notification that appears to be addressed to the previous resident. What should I do?
We apologize for the inconvenience, but do not open the payment notification. Instead, please attach a sticky note to the front of the envelope and write "前住人宛てのため、差出人に戻して下さい" on it, and either drop it in a nearby mailbox or contact your local post office.
