Has PKH Been Disbursed Today? Check the 2026 Disbursement Schedule and Recipient List
The Family Hope Programme (PKH) is one of the regular assistance programmes provided by the government to beneficiary families each period. In April 2026, this aid enters the second stage of distribution, which is expected to begin from the third week of this month.
Referring to the Pocket Book 0% Extreme Poverty by the Presidential Staff, PKH aims to ensure the welfare of Indonesian society at the economically disadvantaged level. The programme is present to ensure that pregnant women receive proper health checks, toddlers grow with good nutritional monitoring, children stay in school up to high school, and the elderly and those with severe disabilities continue to receive attention.
Quoted from detikNews, the programme is felt by approximately 25,665 families in Indonesia classified in deciles 1 to 4. Therefore, many people are awaiting the latest information on the PKH disbursement schedule in April 2026. So, has PKH been disbursed today? Here is the latest information.
Latest Update on Social Assistance Distribution
News regarding the disbursement of social assistance, including the Family Hope Programme (PKH), is once again the focus of public attention in April 2026. Many are wondering whether the aid has started to be distributed or not.
The latest update was conveyed by the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia through Social Minister Saifullah Yusuf, familiarly known as Gus Ipul. He stated that the government is endeavouring to accelerate the social assistance distribution process, as long as the recipient data is complete and ready to use.
“Insyaallah, we will accelerate its distribution as long as we have received the data, and we will coordinate with the Ministry of Finance and so on, then distribute it through Himbara or possibly with PT Pos,” said Gus Ipul, quoted from detikNews (13/4).
Furthermore, Gus Ipul also provided an overview of the estimated social assistance disbursement time, expected to start in the third week of April 2026.
“It might be after the 10th. So, the third week perhaps. We start in the third week of this April,” he added.
Thus, until mid-April 2026, PKH disbursements are likely not yet widespread across all regions. This is because the distribution is carried out gradually to Beneficiary Families (KPM) based on data verified by the Ministry of Social Affairs. The government does not set a specific date for social assistance disbursements, so recipients must check regularly.
PKH Disbursement Schedule for 2026
Based on the distribution pattern in previous years, social assistance from the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, including the Family Hope Programme (PKH), is generally disbursed gradually in four stages or quarters throughout the year.
Here is the detail of the schedule:
Stage 1 (Quarter I): January, February, March
Stage 2 (Quarter II): April, May, June
Stage 3 (Quarter III): July, August, September
Stage 4 (Quarter IV): October, November, December
Based on that schedule, entering April 2026 means social assistance distribution has entered stage 2 (quarter II).
Who Are the PKH Recipients for 2026?
Recipients of the Family Hope Programme (PKH) are determined based on official government data and certain criteria. The programme targets families that truly need it so that the aid is on target. Here are the criteria for PKH recipients in 2026 referring to the Ministry of Social Affairs website:
Registered in the National Single Social and Economic Data (DTSEN)
Included in the poor or very poor family category
Having at least one of the following components:
Pregnant women or postpartum period
Early childhood (0-6 years)
School children (elementary, junior high, senior high/equivalent)
Those with severe disabilities
Elderly (60 years and above)
These components form the basis for aid distribution, because PKH not only aims to provide financial assistance but also to improve the quality of health, education, and social welfare of beneficiary families.
Amount of PKH Assistance for 2026
The amount of Family Hope Programme (PKH) assistance distributed by the Ministry of Social Affairs varies, depending on the components possessed by the Beneficiary Family (KPM).
