BOGOR - The Bogor Regency Government in West Java Province is waiting for directions from the Ministry of Social Affairs regarding the distribution of direct cash assistance from the transfer of fuel fuel subsidies or BLT fuel. "The Bogor Regency Social Service has coordinated with the Ministry of Social Affairs and is still waiting for technical information on the distribution of the aid," said Bogor Regent Iwan Setiawan in Cibinong, Bogor, Antara, Friday, September 2. According to him, the Bogor Regency Social Service has prepared family data deemed appropriate to receive BLT BBM, including families who have been included in the Social Welfare Integrated Data (DTKS). "We are ready to confirm the data on beneficiaries, whether they are DTKS or non-DTKS parent data. The quota is not yet known," he said. The Bogor Regency Social Service also discussed the plan to distribute BLT BBM with the Cibinong Post Office Manager. The government distributed several social assistance ahead of the increase in oil fuel prices, namely direct cash assistance (BLT), wage subsidies, and transportation subsidies. The central government allocated Rp12.4 trillion in funds to provide direct cash assistance to 20.65 million families. Direct cash assistance for each family is worth Rp600,000 for four months and is channeled twice through the Post Office. In addition, the central government allocated Rp9.6 trillion in funds to provide wage subsidies to 16 million workers with a maximum salary of Rp3.5 million per month. The wage subsidy given by the government to each worker is worth Rp600,000. In addition, the central government asked the local government to set aside General Allocation Funds and Profit Sharing Funds to provide additional transportation subsidies and social protection.
