DPRD Urges DKI Provincial Government To Accelerate Validation Of Integrated Social Welfare Data

JAKARTA - DPRD Urges DKI Provincial Government to Accelerate Validation of Integrated Social Welfare Data JAKARTA - Secretary of Commission E of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Justin Adrian urged the DKI Social Service to accelerate the verification and validation of integrated social welfare data (DTKS).

This is necessary to determine the feasibility of social assistance recipients (Bansos) so that they are right on target. It was recorded that around 5 million Jakarta residents registered as potential beneficiaries.

"DTKS from decile 1 to decile 10 registered nearly 5 million citizens from 11 million. How long will data verification last? Now it's passive," said Justin, quoted Friday, November 22.

In the discussion of the 2025 APBD draft, the budget for assistance to meet basic needs (PKD) which will be distributed through the Jakarta Children's Card (KAJ), the Jakarta Elderly Card (KLJ), and the Jakarta Disability Card (KPDJ) in 2025 is still the same as in 2024, which is Rp802 billion.

Although there is no increase in the budget, Justin hopes that the PKD Social Assistance can be right on target by accelerating verification and validation of all applications from Jakarta residents.

"Indeed, there are no additions, but the old ones are trying to keep going. But it is also possible that with verification, some will be deleted and replaced with the lowest deposits," said Justin.

The reason is, the social assistance provided must be in accordance with the poverty rating which has been grouped into decile 1 to decile 4, according to the level of household welfare.

For the record, the PKD social assistance budget of Rp802 billion will be distributed to 219,252 beneficiaries. In detail, KLJ with a target of 171,010 beneficiaries, KAJ with a target of 27,352 beneficiaries, and KPDJ with a target of 20,890 beneficiaries.
