BPJAMSOSTEK disburses Rp3.5 trillion in benefits for Central Java and Yogyakarta
The Workers Social Security Agency (BPJS Ketenagakerjaan or BPJAMSOSTEK) has disbursed benefits totalling Rp3.5 trillion to recipients in Central Java and the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) as of July 2026.
“For the Central Java and DIY region, as of July 2026 we have delivered benefits to 385,000 recipients, amounting to approximately Rp3.5 trillion,” said Cahyaning Indriasari, Head of the BPJS Ketenagakerjaan Regional Office for Central Java and DIY, at the launch of the Sustainable Economic Empowerment and Independence Programme (PEKA) in Yogyakarta on Tuesday.
According to her, the benefits for recipients from BPJS Ketenagakerjaan participants include the Old-Age Security (JHT), Work Accident Insurance (JKK), Death Benefit (JK), Pension Guarantee (JP), and Job Loss Guarantee (JKP), as well as scholarships.
On this occasion, benefit recipients—including heirs and students receiving BPJS Ketenagakerjaan scholarships—received training through the PEKA programme titled “Rising to Weave Independence, Towards Sustainable Prosperity”.
“The training we provide is practical training. Many of those who have received benefits already have businesses, but they do not yet know how to market their businesses,” she said.
“We are also partnering with marketplaces and e-commerce platforms. For Central Java and DIY, this is now the fourth time—the second time in Semarang, and today in Yogyakarta is also the second,” she said.
She noted that previous training in Yogyakarta was provided to 25 heirs to teach them about product marketing on marketplaces, and nine of them have already been able to market their products through these platforms.
“So our hope is that the businesses they already own can be marketed digitally, because renting a shopfront and so on is expensive. So they can now sell online,” she said.
She said the current training session was attended by 30 people, comprising scholarship recipient students and heirs whose parents had previously participated in the BPJS Ketenagakerjaan programme, meaning protection extends to them as well.
“That is why we explain what our programmes are, so that they become familiar with BPJS and are protected like their parents. We try to offer several activities, such as becoming social security mobilisers or Perisai agents, so that they can start practising work now before entering the job market,” she said.
