Economic relief from your municipality.
I received some small breaks on water/sewer bills and waste disposal. In my city, Noda. https://www.city-cost.com/blogs/TonetoEdo/zKPj4-living_noda_shi_chiba Have you gotten relief from your municipality? Do these relief measures make a difference for you?

@genkidesu No application was required. My neighbor mentioned the suspension of the water and sewer bills a few weeks ago, but the extra garbage bag voucher was a surprise. A tiny surprise.

@TonetoEdo it all helps! Hope it spans to other regions across Japan, too.

@ReishiiTravels Prefectures have budget concerns, but the tax and breaks like this are at city level. The tax and municipal services are so different from city to city.

@Eli It sure looks like we are getting extra care from City Hall. My friends in a city in Ibaraki Prefecture merely got extra masks, and that was about it.

@MommyRam A few months ago, Noda City provided a one-time benefit to single parents.

Not on utilities no, but we have got quite a lot for the kids. For example, the primary school aged kids each got a book of vouchers for free food at participating restaurants / conbini etc worth 3000 yen (per book). They each got a box of masks. We got a one off additional payment of 10,000 each from the kotate and there was also another deposit in our bank book (other than the 100,000 each) from the town that we can't find a letter about! It was something like 24,000 yen so we were thinking maybe 6000 each for the kids for something. We were getting it from all angles at one stage!
