"The total head of families in West Java is around 14 million. If 10 million become KPM, it means that 68 percent of all families in West Java Province get social assistance from these 13 sources," said Dodo.
The number of PKH recipients was originally 1,718,362 families to 1,813,956 families. Then, the number of BST recipients, from 1,957,321 families to 2,060,882 families.
"This addition is likely from the results of the proposal from the Provincial Government and Regency / City Government which has entered the Ministry of Social's buffer stock data, already has a valid NIK and is compatible with the Ministry of Home Affairs," he said
According to Dodo, the West Java Social Service Office will open a complaint and information service to accommodate people affected by PPKM but have not yet received assistance from the 13 sources.
