補正予算案を国会提出　１０万円給付財源盛り込み

　政府は２７日、全国民への現金１０万円の一律給付を盛り込むために組み替えた２０２０年度補正予算案を国会に提出した。補正の一般会計総額は組み替え前から８兆８８５７億円増え、２５兆６９１４億円。３０日成立と５月中の現金給付開始を目指す。
　新型コロナウイルス感染拡大を受け、国民１人当たり１０万円を給付する費用として１２兆８８０３億円を計上。７日にいったん閣議決定した収入減世帯への３０万円支給では約４兆円を見込んだ。与党や世論の反発を受けて、安倍晋三首相が３０万円支給を取り下げ、一律で１０万円を給付する方針に転換した結果、補正予算案の規模は９兆円近く膨らんだ。
　このほか、コロナで売り上げが急減した中小企業などに最大２００万円、個人事業主に同１００万円を給付する措置に２兆３１７６億円を計上。子育て世帯への支援として１６５４億円を確保し、中学生まで支給される児童手当を子ども１人当たり１万円上乗せする。（2020/04/27-10:28）

The government on Monday submitted to the Diet, Japan's parliament, a draft fiscal 2020 supplementary budget that has been revamped to finance a program to provide 100,000 yen to every resident of the country, a step aimed at cushioning the impact of the new coronavirus outbreak.
   General-account spending under the revised extra budget for the year that started this month will total 25,691.4 billion yen, up 8,885.7 billion yen from the initial draft.
   The government aims to get the budget through the Diet on Thursday, hoping that the cash benefit distribution will start in May. The government plans to earmark 12,880.3 billion yen as resources for the cash benefit program.
   In the initial draft of the extra budget, approved by the cabinet on April 7, the government planned to set aside some 4 trillion yen for a different cash benefit program to provide 300,000 yen each to households whose incomes have plunged due to the fallout of the coronavirus pandemic.
   With this program unpopular in the ruling coalition and among the public, however, the government withdrew it and instead crafted the 100,000-yen handout program.
