What the video covers
- The video explains the latest regulations for PKH and BPNT social assistance programs for 2026-2027.
- BLTS assistance previously covered deciles 1 to 4 with a quota of 35 million recipients without filtering.
- PKH social assistance quota is limited to 10 million, primarily covering deciles 1 and 2, with decile 3 waiting.
- Food assistance recipients in 2025 included deciles 1 to 5, but in 2026 the program targets deciles 1 to 4.
- Data updates involve recording 39 variables about education, occupation, assets, and housing conditions.
- The BPS is responsible for recalculating deciles based on submitted data, which can result in decile changes up or down.
- Local authorities cannot lower deciles; they only collect complaints and submit data to BPS for re-ranking.
- Higher education, better occupation, better house conditions, and more assets increase decile ranking.
- There are still about 5 million families in decile 1 who have not received PKH assistance and are prioritized.

Speaker A
The last one was the BLTS. Do you still remember the BLTS? You do, right?
Speaker A
Who received the BLTS? Those who received it were deciles 1 to 4, sir. Everyone got it, sir. Given by the government because the quota was 35 million. So all deciles 1 to 4 weren't filtered. Basically, whether proposed or not, they all got it. Except for
Speaker A
those you crossed out. If you crossed them out because you felt they were already capable, then they weren't given any. It’s different for the people's schools. Now, for these people's schools, it's decile 1-2. For PKH, it’s decile 1 to 4. Deciles 1-4
Speaker A
can be proposed for PKH. But I apologize, ladies and gentlemen. Yes. So, decile 1 has about 9 million people, 9 million families. Meanwhile, the PKH social assistance quota is only for 10 million. So not all deciles 1 to 4
Speaker A
will get social assistance later. Do you understand this? Yes, there is such a thing as a social assistance quota.
Speaker A
If the previous BLTS quota was 35 million, 1 to 4 were all covered. For PKH, it's only 10 million, sir. 10 million is actually enough for deciles 1 and 2. That’s why I said those in decile 3 should wait in line first, sir.
Speaker A
For now, existing recipients are still allowed to receive it. But moving forward, we will narrow it down further. For example, the basic food assistance recipients. How many deciles were the food assistance recipients before, sir? Remember. Food assistance
Speaker A
was 1 to 5. Some answered 1 to 4. That means last year, in 2025, food assistance recipients were 1 to 5, they could apply, they could receive it. But this year, God willing, for the first term, we are cutting decile 5 so that
Speaker A
PKH and food assistance recipients are the same, 1 to 4. Can you understand that? It could be that next year we cut it again, sir. One more thing, sir.
Speaker A
One to 3, right, sir? Why is my decile eight even though I'm poor? Is there anyone like that? Are there any like that, ladies and gentlemen?
Speaker A
Yes, ready. Are there those who asked to lower their decile now? It seems everyone is racing to lower their decile. Is there anyone asking to increase their decile? There is.
Speaker A
So that’s it, ladies and gentlemen. Essentially, as the provider, what do you call it? Updating the data. We just record 39 questions. Ladies and gentlemen, what is your education, occupation, what are your assets, then what is your house condition, we record
Speaker A
that into the system and then hand it over to BPS. Yes, there will be a visualization later. The one that authorizes, the one that updates the final data and changes the decile is BPS. So, we only submit 39 or 49
Speaker A
variable questions, right? Isn't that so, ladies and gentlemen? So we fill in 39 variables, but you must be honest when filling them out. You must be honest. If you have a car, say you have a car. If you have a motorcycle, say
Speaker A
you have a motorcycle. Don't try to lower your decile; the public is already smart. I am sure they are already smart. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you must clarify that. If they claim they don't have a motorcycle, is it true? If they say they don't
Speaker A
have a car, is it true? It must be clarified and verified to see if it matches the actual condition. Then we submit that data to the BPS. Within about 3 months, BPS will recalculate the decile. Yes, after that decile is
Speaker A
calculated, we don't know if the person's decile will stay the same, go up, or go down. So, the public asks for a decile reduction, they say. But a change in decile could mean it goes down, it goes up, or it stays the same.
Speaker A
That, ladies and gentlemen, can be understood, right? So the Ministry of Social Affairs, village heads, sub-district heads, department heads, and regents cannot lower the decile. What can we do? We can receive complaints from the public, fill in the data, submit it to BPS, and
Speaker A
then BPS will do a re-ranking. Hmm. Do you understand? What determines the decile? First, education, and second, occupation. The higher the education and the better the job, the decile will tend to be high. But it's not just that,
Speaker A
it's the condition of the house. If the house is nice, the floors are ceramic, the walls are concrete, the house is multi-story, then the decile will likely be high. Added to that are the assets. The more assets, like cars
Speaker A
or motorcycles, the higher the decile will be. Do you understand, ladies and gentlemen? Recently, the last one was BLTS (Fuel Cash Assistance). Ladies and gentlemen, do you still remember BLTS?
Speaker A
Still do, right? Who received BLTS? Those who got it were deciles 1 through 4, sir. Everyone got it, sir. Provided by the government because the quota was 35 million. So for all deciles 1 to 4, it didn't choose. Basically, whether they
Speaker A
proposed it or not, everyone got it. Except those that you crossed out, of course. If you crossed them out because they were considered capable, then it wasn't given. It's different with the public school program. Now, for the public school program, this is
Speaker A
different. For PKH, it's deciles 1 to 4, right? Deciles 1 to 4 can be proposed for PKH. But I apologize, ladies and gentlemen. There are about 9 million people in decile 1, 9 million families.
Speaker A
Meanwhile, the PKH social assistance recipients are only for 10 million. So not all deciles 1 to 4 will receive social assistance. Do you understand this? Yes, there is something called a social assistance quota. If the BLTS quota yesterday was 35 million, 1
Speaker A
through 4 were all taken. For PKH, it is only 10 million, sir. 10 million is actually only enough for decile 1 and decile 2. That's why I said those in decile 3 should wait in line first, sir. For now, old recipients are still
Speaker A
allowed to receive it. But moving forward, we will narrow it down further. For example, the basic food assistance recipients. For the food aid recipients yesterday, was it deciles one to how many, sir? I recall. The food aid was deciles 1 through 5. Some
Speaker A
answered 1 through 4. So, in 2025, food aid recipients from deciles 1 to 5 were allowed to apply and receive it. But this year, God willing, for the first phase, we are cutting it to decile 5 so that PKH and food aid recipients are
Speaker A
the same, 1 to 5. Is that understood? It could be cut again next year, sir.
Speaker A
One more thing, sir. 1 through 3. Because we are becoming more targeted, those in the lower deciles should all receive it. Because there are still about 5 million in decile 1 who haven't received PKH. So, there are 5 million people still in
Speaker A
that category who haven't received PKH social aid, sir. Now, we are pushing for decile 1 to be proposed so they can receive PKH. That is roughly the PBI.
Speaker A
PBI is still 1 through 5 and so on.
