「１人１口座」義務化、検討表明　マイナンバーと連結―高市総務相

　高市早苗総務相は９日の閣議後記者会見で、公的な現金給付を迅速に行うため、１人につき一つの預貯金口座とマイナンバーとのひも付けの義務化を検討する方針を表明した。当初想定していた全ての預貯金口座をひも付ける案は導入を見送り、希望者に限って登録できる仕組みを検討する。来年の通常国会への関連法案の提出を目指す。
　高市氏は、世帯単位ではなく個人単位でも、景気対策や福祉など多様な給付を行うために利用すると説明。「一生ものの口座情報を一口座のみ登録していただければ、迅速な給付や行政コストの削減に資する」と述べた。（2020/06/09-11:45）

The Japanese government will consider making it mandatory to link the My Number personal identification numbers with a deposit or savings account, internal affairs minister Sanae Takaichi said Tuesday.
   The government will abandon an initially considered plan to require the social security and tax identification numbers to be linked with every bank account. Instead, the government will consider a system under which only applicants' My Numbers will be linked with their bank accounts.
   The linkage is designed to help authorities to distribute cash handouts to citizens more quickly.
   Takaichi told a press conference that such a linkage will allow authorities to provide a wide range of benefits not only to households but also directly to individual citizens.
   "Just registering information on one bank account will contribute to speedy distribution of handouts and a cut in administrative costs," Takaichi said.
