Speaker A
This decile information is important, especially for those who want to know our family's welfare level in the national socio-economic database, or P3KE. This data is now used by the government as one of the bases for determining targets for various social
Speaker A
assistance programs. In this video, I will show you how to check your decile online using your NIK. I will also explain what decile 1 to decile 10 actually mean. Who has the chance to receive social assistance and what we
Speaker A
can do if the decile that appears does not match our actual conditions. Let's get started right away. First, open the browser on your phone. Then, go to the official Ministry of Social Affairs social assistance check website. The address is cekbansos.kemensos.go.id.
Speaker A
Once the social assistance check page opens, we can perform a search using our NIK or resident identification number. Please enter the 16-digit NIK as stated on your ID card. Enter the captcha code that appears on the screen. If the code that appears is unclear,
Speaker A
we can refresh it to get a new code. If everything is filled in, select the "Search Data" button. Next, the system will perform a search based on the available data. If our data is available, the search results will
Speaker A
appear. This is where we can see the available information, including information regarding our family welfare decile. The government divides family welfare conditions into 10 groups. If we are in decile 1, it means we are in the group with the lowest
Speaker A
economic condition. The higher the decile number, the higher the family welfare level is considered to be. So, simply put, decile 1 is in the lowest group, while decile 10 is in the highest group. But keep in mind, this
Speaker A
decile does not just look at income, because the government also considers housing conditions, jobs, assets, and other socio-economic data. So don't be surprised if we feel our income isn't very large, but our decile is quite high. Because in determining the
Speaker A
welfare group, there are many socio-economic conditions that are taken into account. For example, family members' occupations, education levels, housing conditions, electricity capacity, sanitation and drinking water, asset ownership, business ownership, and other socio-economic information.
Speaker A
So the government does not just look at our monthly income. The overall household condition is taken into account to determine the family's welfare position. Then, how does it relate to social assistance? Well, this part is also important to understand.
Speaker A
People in decile 1 to decile 4, or the bottom 40% group, can be proposed as recipients of social assistance such as PKH and food programs. Meanwhile, people in decile 5 can be proposed as participants in the PBI health insurance. But pay attention to the
Speaker A
words "can be proposed." This means if we are in decile 1 to decile 4, it does not mean we automatically get PKH or food assistance. Because every assistance program still has its own requirements and recipient determination process. So, for example,
Speaker A
if we are in Decile 2 but don't receive PKH, it doesn't necessarily mean there's an error. Deciles indicate our welfare level group. Meanwhile, the decision on whether we become a recipient of an assistance program follows that program's regulations. Now
Speaker A
, what if the decile that appears doesn't match our actual condition? For instance, after checking, it turns out we are in decile 6 or 7. Even though our family's economic condition has already changed. Perhaps we previously had a steady job but are now unemployed
Speaker A
, or the family situation has changed, or the data regarding home employment, as well as the recorded economic condition, no longer reflect our actual circumstances. Can a Decile change? The answer is yes. A Decile is not a number
Speaker A
that stays the same forever. The socio-economic registry data is dynamic and continuously updated. If the recorded information does not match our actual condition, we can request a data update through the village or sub-district office. We can also contact the Social Agency or use the
Speaker A
services available via the Cek Bansos application. Make sure the data provided matches our actual condition.
Speaker A
Once the data is updated and verified, the decile position can be recalculated periodically. So, if we are in Decile 5 today, it doesn't mean we will be in Decile 5 forever. The same applies in reverse. If a family's socio-economic
Speaker A
condition changes, their decile position can also change after the data is updated and recalculated. Because the goal of the socio-economic registry is for the government to have more current social and economic data on the public. This way, assistance programs
Speaker A
and other government initiatives can hopefully be provided to those who truly need them. Yeah.
