PKH and BPNT aid for third quarter starts disbursing July 20
Kemensos is using the latest BPS data, which could change beneficiary lists as new families enter and old recipients drop out.
The Ministry of Social Affairs began distributing assistance under the Family Hope Program and Non-Cash Food Assistance for the third quarter of 2026 on July 20. Social Affairs Minister Saifullah Yusuf said the July-September disbursement was waiting for the final stage of updating and cleaning beneficiary data based on the latest figures from the Central Statistics Agency.
With the new database, some beneficiary families will continue receiving aid, some will be removed from the list, and new recipients will be added. Kemensos said the quota for PKH and BPNT beneficiaries reaches 18 million families. The updating process starts at RT/RW, is discussed at the village or urban ward level, validated by the social affairs office, determined by the regent or mayor, then verified again by BPS before being used again as the basis for distribution by Kemensos.
