A day worker who becomes a specially-insured day laborer must request the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare to issue a specially-insured day laborer's insurance book within five days since the day on which the person becomes a specially-insured day laborer; however, this does not apply if the person already has a specially-insured day laborer's insurance book issued that contains a blank space for stamps for proof of health insurance.
When the Minister of Health, Labour, and Welfare receives a request referred to in the preceding paragraph, the Minister must issue a specially-insured day laborer's insurance book.
厚生労働大臣は、前項の申請があったときは、日雇特例被保険者手帳を交付しなければならない。
A person who has received a specially-insured day laborer's insurance book must return it to the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare if it has become obvious that the person is unlikely to become a specially-insured day laborer within the period during which a blank space for stamps for proof of health insurance remains in the insurance book, or receives approved pursuant to the proviso to Article 3, paragraph (2).
The form, issuance and return of and other necessary matters concerning an specifically insured day laborer's insurance book are specified by Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.
日雇特例被保険者手帳の様式、交付及び返納その他日雇特例被保険者手帳に関して必要な事項は、厚生労働省令で定める。
