日本奥能登地区受2024年1月能登半岛地震严重影响的60户家庭，主要因捐款收入而福利补助被终止。当地福利事务所判定，这些家庭拥有的资产超过福利制度下最低生活费所需水平。此决定引发反对以此为由终止补助的呼声，因为捐款资金对地震灾民重建生活至关重要。
2024年1月1日发生的里氏7.6级能登半岛地震摧毁了日本中部石川县的奥能登地区。到2025年11月底，该地区60户家庭的福利补助被终止，其中轮岛市36户、穴水町14户、能登町8户、珠洲市2户。消息人士周日表示，主要原因是地震灾民收到的捐款收入。
当地福利事务所评估，这些家庭持有的资产，包括捐款，超过了保障最低生活费制度下领取补助的门槛。地震严重破坏了奥能登四个市町村，导致许多居民难以恢复。
这一判断引发了批评，因为捐款在房屋被毁、生计丧失的情况下，对帮助灾民重建发挥着关键作用。出现了呼吁当局不要以此为由终止福利支持的声音，认为这削弱了福利制度援助弱势群体的目的。虽然终止补助旨在确保公共资金的公平分配，但它凸显了资产规则与灾害恢复需求之间的紧张关系。政策制定者可能需要重新审视指导方针，以更好地适应地震幸存者的实际情况。
