JAKARTA - The government has started a national groundcheck of 11 million data of National Health Insurance Premium Assistance (PBI-JKN) recipients. This step is taken to correct the potential for wrong targeting of BPJS Health premium assistance recipients, which have been financed by the state budget.
The groundcheck launch was carried out by the Coordinating Ministry for People's Empowerment (Kemenko PM) together with the Ministry of Social Affairs, the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), and involved the Regional Social Service and the Hope Family Program (PKH) companion.
Coordinating Minister for People's Empowerment Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin said that data accuracy was the key to ensuring that state funds were not wasted.
"The tens of trillions of rupiah that will be issued by the State Budget through this PBI must be targeted, so that those who feel invited to get together are really an integral part of our efforts to help our brothers and sisters in need," said Muhaimin after the launch at the BPS Office, Jakarta, Thursday, February 19.
Therefore, Cak Imin emphasized, the government does not want to have overlapping data that results in wasteful spending.
"Therefore, we do not want any more overlapping data, policies that give birth to waste, inappropriate budgets due to our data that is not synchronized," he continued.
The groundcheck is carried out to minimize errors in inclusion error or recipients of assistance who turn out to be able, as well as exclusion error, namely poor people who have not been registered. The target of verification is scheduled to be completed in two months.
The data source is the update of data based on the National Socio-Economic Integrated Data (DTSEN) which has been a national reference for one year in accordance with Presidential Instruction Number 4 of 2025.
"Today we involve all levels of BPS, all levels of the Ministry of Social Affairs to ensure that all recipients of national social health insurance contributions as a form of state protection are targeted," said Cak Imin.
"I reiterate to all people that if there is a groundcheck or data check from BPS officers, the Ministry of Social Affairs, to really provide accurate data and according to reality, so that we ensure that government assistance is targeted," he continued.
Cak Imin emphasized that this data reform is not merely an administrative matter, but rather the foundation for improving the governance of social protection budgets. Muhaimin also asked the public to cooperate when officers go down to check.
"Through this national groundcheck, this is a concrete momentum to ensure that this country is really capable, this country is really capable, this country is really not indifferent to all the needs of its people," he said.
This data update is carried out through two channels. The formal channel is carried out in stages from RT/RW to the local government using the SIKS-NG (Next Generation Social Welfare Information System) application.
In addition, the public can also submit objections or data updates through the Cek Bansos application, command center 021-171, and WhatsApp Center 0887-7171-171.
Groundcheck is carried out in two stages. The first phase covers 106,153 individuals or about 104,000 families, with a target of being completed by March 14, 2026. The second phase will verify about 11 million individuals or 5.9 million families after the Lebaran holiday and is projected to be completed by the end of April 2026.
