A public relations representative at the Japan Agency for Local Authority Information Systems, which operates the My Number card system. A flood of applications for passwords for My Number individual identification cards, which residents need if they want to apply online for a 100,000 yen coronavirus compensation payment from the government, is making it difficult to access the system.

We're doing what we can to boost the server, but under current circumstances, we're unlikely to see any immediate alleviation of the trouble.

I applied for my card a couple of months ago, and just got the notification yesterday. Took twice as long as normal. Now it's off to the ward office to pick it up.
"applying for a password"? I didn't know about that.

Unbelievable. My daughter in the U.S. was able to receive the government payments back in March and the unemployment came shortly thereafter. All without leaving her home (thank goodness).
The U.S. has certainly messed some things up but they at least got the initial financial aid out quickly.
The inability to get this done along with the "Charlie Foxtrot" mask scenario is reinforcing my belief that the people in Nagata cho are inept, incompetent, and do not care....all combined.
