The disbursement of social assistance (bansos) under the Family Hope\nProgramme (PKH) and the Sembako Programme, also known as Non-Cash Food\nAssistance (BPNT), for phase II of 2026 is eagerly awaited by the\npublic. With the calendar now entering April, the first month of the\nsecond quarter of 2026, many are still inquiring about the criteria for\nrecipients. This certainty is important so that the public can\nunderstand whether they fall into the recipient category or not.<\/p>\n
So, on what date will the PKH and Sembako Programme bansos for phase\nII of 2026 begin to be disbursed, and who is eligible to receive them?\nHere is an explanation regarding the disbursement schedule, recipient\ncriteria, and amounts that need to be understood!<\/p>\n
Disbursement Dates for PKH and Sembako Programme Bansos Phase\nII 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n The disbursement of PKH and Sembako Programme bansos for phase II of\n2026 will be carried out in stages from April to June 2026. According to\ndetikNews, previously, Minister of Social Affairs Saifullah Yusuf, or\nGus Ipul, stated that the disbursement of phase II bansos is estimated\nto begin in the third week of April 2026 or after the 10th.<\/p>\n This is done considering the readiness of recipient data and the\nadministrative processes that must be completed first before the\nassistance is distributed to the public.<\/p>\n \u201cIt will probably be after the 10th. So, perhaps the third week. We\nstart in the third week of this April,\u201d said Gus Ipul at the Ministry of\nSocial Affairs office on Wednesday (01\/04\/2026).<\/p>\n To support this disbursement, the government is also accelerating the\nupdate of the National Single Socio-Economic Data (DTSEN) as the basis\nfor bansos disbursement. Data that was previously received on the 20th\nof each month is now advanced to the 10th every quarter, so that\nassistance can be disbursed more quickly and remain on target.<\/p>\n Given that we are now at the end of April, the disbursement of PKH\nand Sembako Programme bansos for phase II of 2026 is estimated to begin\nsoon. However, the disbursement is carried out in stages, so not all\nrecipients will receive the assistance simultaneously.<\/p>\n In addition, the Ministry of Social Affairs does not set a specific\ndisbursement date for bansos.
