Minister of Social Affairs Saifullah Yusuf or Gus Ipul said that the process of distributing regular social assistance (bansos) in the first quarter of 2026 continues. Until the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan, it was recorded that the realization of regular distribution of social assistance had reached 90 percent nationally.
“Thank God, the distribution process of regular social assistance continues and now stands at more than 90 percent nationally, for the Family Hope Program (PKH) and for Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT) or Basic Food Assistance,” Gus Ipul said in a written statement, Thursday (26/2/2026).
Meanwhile, to support the recovery process and economic recovery in disaster-affected areas such as Aceh, North Sumatra and West Sumatra provinces, the Ministry of Social Affairs distributed PKH social assistance and basic necessities to 1.7 million beneficiary families (KPM) worth Rp. 1.8 trillion.
“Regular social assistance for the three provinces is provided to 1,763,038 beneficiary families, the budget value is IDR 1.8 trillion,” he said.

In addition to regular social assistance, the Ministry of Social Affairs also distributes adaptive social assistance or disaster social assistance in the three provinces. This includes logistical assistance and a public kitchen, compensation for death and injuries, life insurance (Jadup) and economic recovery assistance for communities affected by disasters.
In detail, the compensation for the deceased victims, which was distributed to 990 heirs, is estimated at more than IDR 14 billion. “And this continues, every time there is a letter, after finding the heir, we immediately distribute it to the three provinces of Aceh, West Sumatra and North Sumatra,” he added.
Then, during Sumatra’s post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction period, the Ministry of Social Affairs distributed life insurance assistance to 175,211 beneficiaries, worth IDR 450,000 per person for 3 months.
“The value is more than IDR 238 billion. The distribution process has already started, because of course the beneficiaries have been verified. From the proposal of the regional government and signed by the Minister of Interior as chairman of the Task Force for Acceleration of Reconstruction and Rehabilitation. Then we will start distributing it in stages through PT POS and also BSI,” explained Gus Ipul.

In addition, housing assistance was distributed to more than 47 thousand KPM, worth more than IDR 143 billion. Each family receives household assistance of IDR 3 million.

“Then there is compensation for housing. Both those who live in shelters or permanent housing as well as of course those who are tenants or who participate in the program to receive financial assistance while waiting for housing,” he explained.
Finally, as part of socio-economic recovery, the Ministry of Social Affairs distributes aid to more than 47,000 KPM, worth more than IDR 238 billion. Each family receives socio-economic housing stimulation assistance amounting to IDR 5 million.
“In total, the adaptive social assistance we distributed during this first stage amounts to IDR 632.8 billion. So this is the first step of adaptive social assistance in (these) three provinces,” concluded Gus Ipul.

Viral on social media is a government employee teacher with a part-time work agreement (P3K) in Sumedang Regency who only receives an incentive of IDR 50,000. The Sumedang Education Department (Disdik) has opened its voice on this issue.
The teacher named Fildzah Nur Amalina shared a video on social media. In the video there is the writing “Why do you want to become a teacher even if the salary is small…?” then below the text you can also see proof of receipt of IDR 50,000.

Roni Rahmat, head of the Sumedang Education Department’s General and Financial Subdivision, said Filzdah himself is an R3 category teacher, which is a part-time P3K who has not received certification from the State Civil Service Agency (BKN).
“For the person concerned (Fildzah), he entered R3, he received an incentive of IDR 250,000 per month,” said Roni, as reported by detikjabarMonday (9/2/2026).
Roni revealed that his party does not deny the existence of an incentive payment for part-time first aid teachers who only receive IDR 50,000. However, he said the figures put forward were certainly basic.
According to him, the teacher who received an incentive of IDR 50,000 was a part-time first aid teacher in the R4 category. Teachers in this category are not yet included in the BKN database, because their length of service has not reached two years in accordance with current regulations.
At the time, BKN had regulations allowing regional governments to apply for non-BKN database applications, the regional government at the time was thinking about when there would be testing, it continued to be hosted, but with the conditions that had to be met, a minimum of 2 years of service,” he said.

“At that time the regional government, in this case the Ministry of Education, opened this and entered R4, regardless of the fact that at that time they continued to have SP for 2 years and then they appeared to take the Level 2 tests which resulted in passing only for those registered in the BKN database,” he continued.
