Notice of National Health Insurance Regulation Changes

Notice of National Health Insurance Regulation Changes

On Air: Fukuoka City Information/2012.7.27(Fri)/11:00~

Here’s information from Fukuoka City.

National health insurance regulations for foreign nationals have been changed, effective July 9th. The changes are as follows:

Under the previous system, foreign nationals residing in Japan for a period of one year or longer were required to enroll in the national health insurance program. However, as of July 9th the previous alien registration system was replaced with a new system and now foreign residents, recognized on certificates of residence and who will be staying in Japan for a period greater than 3 months, are required to enroll in the national health insurance program. Following, that means that foreigners recognized on certificates of residence who will be in Japan for a period greater than three months but less than one year must enroll as well. Those listed as head of household are responsible for submitting the paperwork. However, those who receive public assistance as well as those covered by private health insurance through their employment are not able to enroll and there for submission of paperwork is not needed.

 

Also, even those who have a term of residence less than three months and who are therefore not listed on certificates of residence will, under law, be required to enroll in the national health insurance. This includes those with a residency status of Entertainer, Technical Intern Training, Dependent or Designated Activities. Please be aware that under the status of Designated Activities, those whose purpose is to receive medical treatment or to care for those receiving medical treatment are not able to enroll in the insurance.

Please submit all paperwork to the Health Insurance and Pension section of your local ward or branch office. Those required to enroll should bring their resident card, or old alien registration card, as well as their passport and inkan stamp, if owned.

국민건강보험 적용요건 번경 안내

On Air: Fukuoka City Information/2012.7.28(Sat)/20:46~

7월 9일부터 외국 국적 거주자의

국민건강보험 적용조건이 변경되었습니다.

 

변경사항은 다음과 같습니다.

 

지금까지는 외국인등록을 하고 1년 이상의 일본체류가 인정된 외국인이 대상이었지만, 7월9일 이후부터는 외국인등록제도가 폐지되고 3개월 이상 체류하며 주민표에 기재된 분은 국민건강보험의 적용대상이 됩니다.

 

그리고 국민건강보험의 적용요건이 ‘체류기간 3개월 초과’로 변경되면서 1년 미만의 체류기간으로 주민표에 기재된 외국인은 새롭게 국민건강보험에 가입해야 합니다. 세대주는 신고가 필요합니다.

 

다만 직장의 건강보험에 가입한 분이나 생활보호를 받고 계신 분은

국민건강보험에 가입할 수 없사오니 신고하실 필요가 없습니다.

 

또한 체류기간이 3개월 미만이라서 주민표에 기재되지 않은 분도

‘흥행’, ‘기능실습’, 가족체류’, ‘특정활동’이라는 체류자격을 자지고 계신 분들은 자료 등을 통해 3개월 이상 일본에 체류한다고 인정받으면 국민건강보험의 적용대상이 됩니다.

 

다만, ‘특정활동’ 체류자격 가운데 의료진료목적인 분, 이와 더불어 의료진료를 받는 분을 수발하기 위한 목적으로 체류하시는 분은 가입할 수 없사오니 주의해 주세요.

 

 

신고는 주소지의 구청이나 출장소의 보험연금담당과에 해주세요.

가입신고에 필요한 서류는 ‘체류카드 또는 외국인등록증명서’, ‘여권’,

그리고 인감소지자 분은 인감을 준비해 주세요.

国民健康保险适用条件变更

On Air: Fukuoka City Information/2012.7.29(Sun)/20:40~

 

7月9号以后持有外国国籍的人士的国民健康保险适用条件将有变化。变化的地方如下。

以前持有外国人登录的允许1年以上居住在日本的外国人士为国民健康保险的加入对象。7月9号以后外国人登录制度被废除了,为此在日滞留3个月以上被记载在住民票上的人都将为国民健康保险的加入对象。

同时国民健康保险的适用条件改成「滞留3个月以上」的人,这样在日不满1年但被记载在住民票上的人,也需要加入国民健康保险了。户主必须将这样身份的家人申报。但是在公司上了保险的,接受生活保护的人不用加入,所以也不需申报。另外滞留不到3个月,没被记载在住民票上,但是持有「文娱」・「技能实习」・「家族滞在」・「特定活动」在留资格的人,根据材料允许滞留3个月以上的人也需加入国民健康保险了。但是「特定活动」资格,在日目的是来看病的,或来照顾病人的,不可加入国民健康保险,请注意。申报的地点是所居住地方的区役所,出张所的保险年金担当科。来的时候请带上「在留卡或外国人登录证明书」、「护照」和[印章]。
