The program will cover about 820,000 children and will not include any income limit. In principle, eligible households will not need to apply, allowing the prefecture to distribute the support with less administrative burden. Payments are expected to begin from June. The measure is part of the prefecture\u2019s own response to inflation and is intended to provide direct assistance to families raising children. Officials said further details, including the payment schedule and distribution method, will be coordinated with municipalities as implementation moves forward. <strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/newsdig.tbs.co.jp\/articles\/rkb\/2597519\" target=\"_blank\">RKB News<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/news.tnc.co.jp\/news\/articles\/NID2026041429968\" target=\"_blank\">TNC News<\/a> <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fnn_fukuoka-pref-child-support_2026_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C772&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"772\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-177181\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fnn_fukuoka-pref-child-support_2026_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fnn_fukuoka-pref-child-support_2026_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C165&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fnn_fukuoka-pref-child-support_2026_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C565&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fnn_fukuoka-pref-child-support_2026_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C423&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XrDOo8wqabY\" target=\"_blank\">Fukuoka Prefecture Internet TV<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &#038; Kyushu news and events in English.
