JAKARTA - The DKI Provincial Government provides the latest news regarding the disbursement of cash social assistance (BST) during Emergency PPKM. The BST from the DKI Provincial Government is rumored to be disbursed in the third week of July.

"The BST funds will be sent directly to the account of the BST recipient around the 3rd week of July 2021," wrote a statement on the corona.jakarta.go.id page, Wednesday, July 14.

The DKI Provincial Government has prepared a budget of Rp623 billion to be distributed to 1,007,379 beneficiary families (KPM). The distribution of BST from the Provincial Government is carried out through a DKI Bank account.

Residents who receive BST are registered as recipients of the 2020 basic food social assistance as a result of updating and matching the DKI Jakarta Provincial Disdukcapil data.

"Recipients do not include recipients of social assistance programs for the family of hope (PKH) and/or non-cash food assistance (BPNT)," the statement said.

The assistance that will be distributed through Bank DKI is IDR 300 thousand per month in the period of May and June. Based on the government's plan, the delivery of BST will be done all at once, so that residents immediately receive Rp600 thousand.

Meanwhile, BST from the central government, namely the Ministry of Social Affairs, is distributed through PT Pos Indonesia. Social Minister Tri Rismaharini said that BST had been deposited with PT Pos since last week.

"It has been distributed since last week. The distribution is through PT Pos," said Risma.

BST from the Ministry of Social Affairs is targeting 10 million KPM spread throughout Indonesia. In addition, the Ministry of Social Affairs through Perum Bulog also distributed 10 kilograms of rice to KPM BPNT / basic food cards and BST.

"With the help of rice, it is hoped that the people affected by the pandemic can fulfill their basic needs," said Risma.
