JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has opened a service post related to the Jakarta Smart Card (KJP) Plus and the Jakarta Superior Student Card (KJMU) in five cities and the Thousand Islands Regency.

This complaint post was opened in line with the decrease in the number of KJP Plus recipients and the emergence of various complaints from students' families which were revoked from the list of recipients of KJP phase II in 2024.

People who want to ask directly about the program can visit the service post on Monday to Friday from 08.00 to 16.00 WIB.

Plt. Head of the DKI Jakarta Education Office, Sarjoko, invites residents to ask for an explanation, and provide clarification or a rebuttal for his rejection as a recipient of the KJP Plus or KJMU can visit the service post.

"This is an evaluation material for future improvements. In principle, in the distribution of KJP Plus KJMU, we are trying to be right on target in accordance with applicable regulations," said Sarjoko, Monday, December 16.

The distribution of KJP Plus phase II in 2024, which has just been distributed, has been protested by a number of people. Many of the student families protested because they previously received KJP in phase I and now no longer received the education assistance.

In this case, the DKI Provincial Government revoked 146 thousand KJP Plus student ownership statuses based on data matching and verification for phase II in 2024, so that now it only covers 523,622 recipient students.

Sarjoko admitted that the decrease in the number of KJP recipients from phase I to stage II 2024 was due to budget constraints in the APBD.

"With the KJP Plus recipients in stage one who then did not become recipients in this second stage, of course the first is related to the decline in the budget ceiling," said Sarjoko.

With budget constraints, continued Sarjoko, the DKI Provincial Government also needs to use the priority scale of prospective recipients with data on Socio-Economic Registration (Regsosek) to obtain welfare ranking status in the form of decile.

In addition, there were also several KJP Plus recipients who were declared no longer meeting the criteria, so they were dropped from the distribution of KJP phase II 2024, namely:

1. Not included in the criteria for the poor and the poor.

2. Resign on personal will.

3. Have a four-wheeled vehicle (car).

4. Have assets in the form of land or buildings with a selling value of tax objects (NJOP) above IDR 1 billion.

5. Violating the ban as a recipient of KJP Plus social assistance.
