II. FY2014 Payment Months and Calculation Period
The premiums for the year will be divided into 10 installments to be paid from June through March. No payments are to be made in April or May.
Note: Invoices are mailed in June (for June through October) and in November (for November through March). Please note that households that pay via account transfer will only receive notification of the premium amounts.
- If you have not completed an income report, please do so for the municipality in which you resided as of January 1. Insurance premiums cannot be reduced even if the incomes of all household members are low, unless each and every member of the household files an income report.
- If you moved into Shinagawa City on or after January 2, the City Office will contact the government of the municipality where you lived previously about your income. At first, you will be notified of the per capita amount only. Once your income has been confirmed, you will then be sent a notification of adjusted premiums.
