Jakarta – The Ministry of Social Affairs (Ministry of Social Affairs) is moving rapidly to overcome the spread of social assistance (social assistance) that is limited. Of the total of 1.3 million data for social assistance that previously failed to say goodbye due to account problems, 580.798 Beneficiary Families (KPM) have now received direct assistance. “Yesterday I transferred 1.3 million, I did not have Kong. To this day, more than 580 thousand have been successfully eliminated. The rest, 768,381 kpm, is still recovering with details of 751.067 kpm via Himbara and 17,314 km via Pt Post,” Saifulhelah5 (Gus Ipul) said on Thursday (6/1925). Gus Ipul explained, the distribution of social assistance reached 8.028.881 KPM Family Hope program (PKH) or 80.3% and 14.810.907 KPM Sembako or 81%. Browse to continue with the content, there is still 1,945,399 kpm pkh (19.4%) on the process of opening an account, 2,723,515 KPM Sembako (14.9%) is on the process of opening an account, and 25,720 km pkh (0.3%) and 742.661 kpm foods (4.1%). Attempts to accelerate the distribution carried out by the Ministry of Social Affairs through intensive coordination with the state enterprise Bank Association (Himbara). However, Gus Ipul has acknowledged that the process of printing collective account cards needs quite a long time. A number of channel failure causes include passive or not found accounts, the account name is not appropriate, the card is not issued or inactive, and the card number is incorrect. As a solution, the Ministry of Social Affairs has taken with Himbara concrete steps such as verification of active card numbers, the bank explains the reasons for the account not found, the name of the technical instructions for social assistance, to make new accounts for KPM that meet the requirements. The completeness of the address is also considered so that the card distribution is right on the target. The Ministry of Social Affairs also opens the space for public participation through the ‘proposal and objection’ function in the social assistance application. The community can suggest or refute prospective recipients if there is something that is considered inappropriate. “We open the greatest possible space for the community to propose or refute data on social assistance,” Gus Ipul said. From May to mid -June, there were 363,472 proposals for recipients and 2,829 refutations from the public who believe that KPM was not worthy of receiving social assistance. Gus Ipul also appreciated the public participation as part of the process of updating this data. “It helps us to see the objective conditions in the field. The more people involved, social assistance data will be compiled and fair,” he said. Proposed data and objections will be combined with input from the SIKS-NG Social and Village/Kelurahan operators, and then verified directly in the field to determine the recipient’s feasibility.
