        "content": "<p>The Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos) continues efforts to\naccelerate rehabilitation and reconstruction following flood disasters\nin Aceh Province, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra. After previously\ndistributing compensation for fatalities and serious injuries, Kemensos,\nin cooperation with PT POS Indonesia, has begun distributing other\nadaptive assistance such as home completion assistance, the\nSocial-Economic Stimulus Aid (BSSE), and livelihood support (Jadup).\n\u201cNow we are in the process of distributing home completion assistance\nand Social-Economic Stimulus Aid. The home completion assistance amounts\nto Rp3 million per family, while the BSSE amounts to Rp5 million per\nfamily,\u201d said the Minister of Social Affairs (Mensos), Saifullah Yusuf\n(Gus Ipul), in a statement on Friday, 6 March 2026. He made the remarks\nat a press conference after a meeting with the Acting President Director\nof PT POS Indonesia, Haris, at the Kemensos Office in Jakarta, on\nThursday (5\/3). According to data from the Ministry of Home Affairs\n(Kemendagri), the number of Beneficiary Families or KPM that have been\nverified and will receive home completion assistance and BSSE totals\n67,886 KPM, with an overall budget requirement of more than Rp543\nbillion. \u201cAs you know, the data is processed from the bottom up. BNPB\nprovides the data first, then it is determined by the regent\/mayor,\nwhich already includes the BNBA, then signed by the Police Chief and the\nState Prosecutor, before being verified by the Minister of Home Affairs.\nAfter that, it becomes final data to guide our disbursement. In this\ndistribution process, we have tasked PT POS Indonesia,\u201d he explained.\nMeanwhile, the value of livelihood support is Rp450 thousand per person\nper month for three months. The data verified for Jadup recipients\ntotals 248,588 beneficiaries (PM) with a total budget requirement of\nmore than Rp335 billion. In the first phase, PT POS Indonesia\ndistributed home completion assistance and BSSE to 38,070 KPM and Jadup\nto 143,496 PM in Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra. \u201cThis is roughly\nhow it looks, because the disbursement is expected to be fast but also\ntargeted, prudent, and accountable. Therefore we thank the local\ngovernments for sending the data well,\u201d he said. At the same venue,\nHaris explained that by Thursday (5\/3), PT POS had already distributed\nhome completion assistance and BSSE to about 17,000 KPM or more than 26\npercent. The figure will continue to grow and be completed before Eid\nal-Fitr. \u201cIn a few more days, as the Minister said earlier, from 67\nthousand beneficiary families, we target that by the 15th everything\nwill be completed. Therefore, we hope that before Eid al-Fitr, all of\nour brothers and sisters have received their rights, including home\ncompletion assistance and Social-Economic Stimulus Aid,\u201d Haris said.\nFurther, Haris also said PT POS will soon distribute livelihood support.\nWith the support of Post Office branches spread across various regions,\nHaris hopes recipients will receive their entitlements soon. \u201cOur hope\nis that, with the spread of our offices, even if recipients might not be\nat their location due to Eid preparations, they can simply contact or\nvisit our Post Office; our staff there will coordinate with the Central\nTask Force, to possibly pay at the place where they celebrate Idul\nFitri,\u201d he added. Haris explained the distribution process would involve\nPost Offices in the three provinces, through three channels: paid at the\nPost Office, in the Community (Desa\/Kelurahan offices, etc.), and direct\ndelivery, especially to elderly recipients or those who are ill.\u00a0\u201cWe\nhave carried out the distribution over the last three days, involving\nour Post Offices. Our network in these three provinces comprises around\n454 offices,\u201d he concluded. Also attending the meeting were Kemensos\nSecretary-General Robben Rico, Director General for Social Empowerment\nMira Riyati Kurniasih, PT POS Indonesia EVP Government and Corporate\nBusiness Hendra Sari, PT POS Indonesia VP of Fund Disbursement Andi\nRosa, and other stakeholders.<\/p>",
