The Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos) provides the Perlinsos Digital and Cek Bansos services. Both were developed to support social protection services that are increasingly accessible to the public. However, there are differences between the two services. According to official information from the Social Welfare Data and Information Centre (@pusdatinkesos), the Cek Bansos application is a service that the public can currently use to check the status of social assistance recipients, submit proposals and objections to data, and access information related to social assistance.

Meanwhile, Perlinsos Digital is a portal that is currently in the pilot project stage. In the future, this portal will present more integrated services, allowing the public to access more complete information, from the registration process and data updates to verification results.
