BANDUNG \u2014 Informal workers in West Java can now register for\nemployment social security protection through the Asuransi Aing\nprogramme. Registration is available through the Asuransi Aing feature\non the Sapawarga app or by contacting the Jabar standby service on\n082126030038.<\/p>\n
The West Java Provincial Government will cover BPJS Employment\ncontributions for 5.4 million informal workers from 2027. The\ncontribution paid by the regional government is set at Rp 16,800 per\nworker per month.<\/p>\n
According to West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi, known as KDM,\nrecipients of Asuransi Aing will receive five main benefits. First,\nparticipants will be entitled to unlimited-cost treatment for\nwork-related injuries at class I government hospitals or equivalent\nprivate hospitals.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor 12 months, workers will receive compensation equal to 100 per\ncent of their wages while they are unable to work; from the 13th month\nuntil treatment is complete, they will receive 50 per cent of their\nwages,\u201d Dedi said recently.<\/p>\n
Second, if a work-related accident results in permanent total\ndisability, the worker will receive Rp 56 million in compensation from\nthe scheme provider. The amount is subject to the applicable\nregulations.<\/p>\n
Third, if a worker dies as a result of a work-related accident, their\nheirs will receive Rp 70 million. This comprises Rp 48 million in death\ncompensation, Rp 12 million in periodic payments over 24 months and Rp\n10 million for funeral costs.<\/p>\n
Fourth, if a worker dies for reasons unrelated to a work accident,\ntheir heirs remain eligible for Rp 42 million. This consists of Rp 10\nmillion for funeral costs, Rp 20 million in death compensation and Rp 12\nmillion in periodic compensation over 24 months, paid as a lump sum.\nEligibility requires at least three months of BPJS Employment\nmembership.<\/p>\n
Fifth, Asuransi Aing provides education scholarships for two of a\nparticipant\u2019s children. If a worker dies or suffers permanent total\ndisability due to a work-related accident, the two children may receive\nscholarships with a total value of up to Rp 174 million.<\/p>\n
The education benefit also applies if a worker dies for reasons\nunrelated to a work accident, provided they have made BPJS Employment\ncontributions for at least three years. The policy is intended to help\nsecure the children\u2019s future.<\/p>\n
Deny Yusyulian, head of the BPJS Employment regional office in West\nJava, said the agency strongly welcomed the provincial government\u2019s\ninitiative to expand employment social security protection for informal\nworkers. He described the programme as strategically important for the\nwider community.<\/p>\n
Deny said the programme was an important step towards ensuring\nworkers across different sectors were protected against occupational\nrisks that could occur at any time. It also meant workers could feel the\nstate\u2019s presence directly.<\/p>\n
\u201cInformal workers face the same risks in carrying out their work.\nThrough Asuransi Aing, we hope more people will gain access to\nemployment social security protection without having to bear the\ncontributions themselves. This is a tangible example of the government\nprotecting workers and their families,\u201d Deny said.<\/p>\n
He added that the five main benefits showed that employment social\nsecurity provides not only financial support for workers but also a\nsafety net for their families in the event of a work accident or\ndeath.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis protection is important because the consequences of\noccupational risks are felt not only by workers but also by their\nfamilies,\u201d Deny said.<\/p>\n
With work-accident and death benefits in place, workers can go about\ntheir daily activities with greater peace of mind, while their families\nhave protection if an unexpected event occurs.<\/p>\n
To claim benefits, workers or their heirs must submit the required\ndocuments to BPJS Employment. These include a national identity card, a\ndeath certificate where applicable, a family card and the bank account\nnumber of the beneficiary.<\/p>\n
The benefits have already helped Jajang, a resident of Bayongbong,\nGarut Regency. After his father, a farmer, died in 2025, Jajang received\nthe full compensation from the scheme provider.<\/p>\n
Jajang expressed his gratitude and thanked the West Java Provincial\nGovernment for the assistance provided to his family. He said the\nprogramme had eased the burden on those left behind.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope the governor\u2019s programme continues. If you have not yet\nregistered with BPJS Employment, please sign up soon,\u201d Jajang said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/west-java-launches-asuransi-aing-inviting-informal-workers-to-register-1793343093", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
