ALTER TABLE public.not_monthly ADD COLUMN c_id bigint NULL;
UPDATE public.not_monthly SET c_id = next_val('c_id_sequence'); --might
need a bit of futzing to make this work, but I hope you get the idea...
INSERT INTO table_1 (clientid, c_id, first_name)
SELECT client_id, c_id, first_name FROM not_monthly;
INSERT INTO table_2 (clientid, c_id, last_name)
SELECT client_id, c_id, last_name FROM not_monthly;
