How to Check BPNT 2026 Recipients on Your Phone Using ID Card and Disbursement Schedule
As an effort to protect and improve the welfare of poor and vulnerable communities, the Ministry of Social Affairs routinely distributes social assistance (bansos) in various forms. One of them is the Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT), which is provided every quarter.
Quoted from the official Kemensos website, BPNT is social assistance distributed in non-cash form through electronic cards given directly to Beneficiary Families (KPM). The assistance is provided through the banking system and can be used to obtain rice and/or eggs at e-Warongs.
This year, the government is once again distributing BPNT. So, when is the disbursement schedule and how to check it? Read the explanation about the disbursement schedule, amount, and how to check BPNT 2026 below.
Criteria for BPNT 2026 Recipients
Quoted from the Instagram post @kemensosri, Social Minister Saifullah Yusuf or Gus Ipul stated that the distribution of social assistance is based on the National Socio-Economic Data (DTSEN) determined by BPS. This data is always updated every quarter to match the latest conditions of the beneficiaries.
Based on the Instagram post @pusdatinkesos, DTSEN divides society groups based on their welfare levels, from decile 1 to 10. Decile 1 refers to the 10% of the population with the lowest welfare level, decile 2 is the 10% of the population with the welfare level above it, and so on.
The next social assistance distribution prioritises the lowest decile population groups. The decile range for social assistance recipients based on DTSEN is as follows.
PKH: deciles 1-4 with a quota of 10 million families
BPNT: deciles 1-5 with a quota of 18.2 million families
JKN Contribution Assistance: deciles 1-5 with a quota of 96.8 million individuals
Amount of BPNT 2026
Based on the official Kemensos website, the nominal amount of BPNT received by KPM is Rp200,000 per month or according to the state’s financial capacity. Thus, the total BPNT received by KPM per quarter is Rp600,000. The assistance will be distributed in cash and/or non-cash form by the distributing bank/post office.
Unlike BPNT, the PKH amount is given according to the beneficiary category. The details of the PKH amount per 3 months according to its category are as follows.
