The same applies to the portion that should have been reduced of the child allowance, in the case where, although grounds for reducing and revising the amount of child allowance have arisen, child allowance of an amount not reduced has been paid as the portion for the month following the month that includes the day on which those grounds arose and thereafter. machine translation, not official --- ## Sources - e-Gov 法令検索, Digital Agency (デジタル庁) — 児童手当法 — the text in force from 2025-06-01 (https://laws.e-gov.go.jp/law/346AC0000000073/20250601_504AC0000000068), retrieved 2026-10-09 - Japanese Law Translation Database System, Ministry of Justice (法務省) — 児童手当法 — its English title as the Ministry of Justice's translation database lists it (https://www.japaneselawtranslation.go.jp/en/laws/view/968), retrieved 2026-09-23 - claude-sonnet-5-5 — Machine translation, batch child-allowance-act-20261009T094943-003, translated 2026-10-09 - This site's parser, version 165 — 児童手当法 — structure, counts, cross-references and defined terms, computed 2026-10-09
