PALU - The Manpower Social Security Administration Agency (BPJamsostek) of Central Sulawesi asked the 56-year-old participant to immediately claim the disbursement of the Old Age Security (JHT) program funds.

He explained that the JHT program is intended as a substitute for cut off labor income because it stops working or retires, dies, remains completely disabled, or has entered the age of 56 years, the amount of which is an accumulation of added contributions. Because this is the right of the workers, and will be returned to the workers so that the optimal benefits can be felt by BPJamsostek participants as preparation for old age. "Participants can apply for JHT balances online through the Jamsostek Mobile (JMO) application or https://lapakasik.bpjsketenagakerjaan.go.id/, or come to the nearest Branch Office, just bring the required documents, namely KTP-el and BPJamsostek participant cards," he explained. He further explained, for participants with the status of JHT maturing or at the age of 56 years, if they have disbursed claims, they can continue to participate if they are still working. "We always provide convenience services so that BPJamsostek participants do not find it difficult to access various existing programs, including the disbursement of JHT funds," he said.
