BPS Finds 11,000 Beneficiary Families No Longer Eligible for Social Assistance

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) has found 11,014 beneficiary families (KPM) who are no longer eligible to receive social assistance (bansos) based on the latest data update in the 2026 National Integrated Socio-Economic Database (DTSEN).

BPS Chief Amalia Adininggar Widyasanti, after a meeting at the Ministry of Social Affairs office in Jakarta on Monday, stated that this finding is part of the results of the DTSEN volume 2 update for 2026, which includes updates to family and individual data.

“A total of 11,014 KPM are classified as inclusion errors, namely social assistance recipients who are in decile 5 and above or outside the main target group,” she said.

According to her, this number equates to about 0.06 percent of the total social assistance recipients in the first quarter, which reached 18.15 million families.

In the family data, the number increased from 95.0 million families to 95.3 million families in the second version.

Meanwhile, in the individual data, there was an increase from 289.0 million to 289.3 million individuals after the update.

Amalia added that the data update also takes into account population dynamics, including around 314,000 death records based on the Population Administration Information System (SIAK) as well as around 356,000 field findings of deaths, in addition to new births and reactivation of population registration numbers and family cards.
