President Jokowi launched a cash direct assistance (BLT) program for workers who have wages below IDR 5 million on Thursday, 27 August 2020.

Jokowi said that the provision of direct cash assistance (BLT) of Rp. 600 thousand per month to workers registered at BPJS Ketengakagakerjaan was an appreciation.

The President said that the appreciation was given because they routinely paid BPJS Ketenagakerjaan contributions until June 2020.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Manpower Ida Fauziyah stated that the disbursement was only for stage I.

Ida explained that this first phase of disbursement was intended for validated workers and the majority of whom had accounts of Bank BNI, Bank BRI, Bank Mandiri and Bank BTN.

The details of the distribution of direct cash assistance (BLT) in each channeling bank from a total of 2.5 million recipients of the first batch are as follows

In the account of PT Bank Mandiri Persero Tbk more than 700,000,

In the bank account of PT Bank Negara Indonesia Persero (BNI) Tbk more than 900,000,

In the account of PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia Persero (BRI) Tbk more than 600,000, and

Recipients of direct cash assistance (BLT) for workers are targeted to be 15.7 million people who will be distributed by the end of September 2020. Therefore, the government still provides opportunities for workers or companies that have not submitted or corrected data until August 30, 2020.
