City Office, Tel: 082-420-0933 About Premium Rise of National Health Insurance from Fiscal 2009 へいせい21 ね ん ど ぜいりつ 平成21年度の税率について The Higashihiroshima City has been leaving the premium rate unchanged since 2002. However, due to the recent economic crisis and the change in social structure, such as declining birthrate and a growing proportion of elderly people, the fiscal conditions of Higashihiroshima City have deteriorated seriously, and it’s getting very difficult for us to maintain National Health Insurance with the current premium rate. We earnestly hope that you will kindly understand the necessity for this increase. The average of the raising rate of the premium per person is approx. 4%. Please see Notice booklet on National Health Insurance Premium 2009 (April, 2009 ~ March, 2010), which is sent to the insured by mail around the middle of July. * National Health Insurance Premium for 2009 will become available to pay at convenience stores. Bar-coded statements for convenience store payment will be enclosed in the notice letter to those who pay by cash. Please be careful not to lose the statements, for they are separated from the booklet. Please pay in specific term. About Premium Reduction Reduction/Exemption eduction/Exemption System to LowLow-income Households Households ほ け ん ぜい けいげん げんめん 保険税の軽減・減免について If you have financial difficulties, please ask about Premium reduction system to low-income households (in Japanese: hokennzei-no-keigen 保険税の 保険税の軽減). 軽減 Premium reduction system is applied to households falling short of the government ordinance-designated income standards. Applicable households can receive 20%, 50%, or 70% reduction from the regular premium rate. Also, those who have severe difficulty in the premium payment because they lost their job, met with a natural disaster or other serious conditions, may apply for reduction or exemption. Please ask us for details. About Exemption from Contribution Payments of National Pension こくみんねんきんほけんりょう めんじょしんせい 国民年金保険料の免除申請 You can apply for the exemption from contribution payments if you satisfy certain conditions specified by law.
