The requirements for the period of insured service for the “Childcare Leave Benefit” will be partially changed on September 1. As a result, even if you did not meet the requirements in the past, you may be eligible for the benefits. In particular, those who have been on maternity leave for about a year after starting work may be eligible for this benefit, so please check once.
Period of insured persons for childcare leave benefits in principle
Current
There must be at least 12 full months with 11 or more days of basic wage payment (working days) in the two years prior to the date of commencement of childcare leave.
After revision
Even if the above requirements are not met during the insured period, if there are 12 or more full months with 11 or more days of basic wage payment (working days) during the two years prior to the date of start of maternity leave, the insured period requirements for the payment of childcare leave benefits shall be fulfilled.
