¥50,000 per baby born (no income limit; apply within 1 year of the birth)

As part of the cost of childbirth, the city pays ¥50,000 per baby born. There is no income limit. It is Setagaya City's own cash subsidy, separate from the national Childbirth and Childcare Lump-sum Allowance. It covers cases where the baby has an address in the city on the birth date. Miscarriages and stillbirths at 85 days of pregnancy or later (including induced abortion under the Maternal Health Act) are also covered; in this case, the condition is that the mother who gave birth lives in the city, and only the mother can apply. The application deadline is within 1 year of the birth date. Apply by mail, at the counter or online. It takes about 1–2 months from application to payment. The subsidy is included in taxable income for income tax (occasional income).
