How to Check Your Decile Using Your NIK KTP on a Phone in 2026, with Your Status Displayed Immediately

| | Source: KOMPAS Translated from Indonesian | Social Policy

The government has made it possible to check your social assistance decile for 2026 online using your NIK KTP via the official ‘cek bansos’ site on kemensos.go.id. Not all residents automatically receive social assistance, as recipients are determined by deciles—a system that clusters the public according to economic welfare. After entering your NIK, you will see which decile you belong to and your eligibility status as a recipient of bansos. But what is a decile? How is it divided? And how can you check your decile yourself? Decile can be understood as the ‘economic rank’ of a household; the lower the decile number, the lower the welfare level. The decile data comes from the National Social and Economic Single Data (DTSEN), managed by the Ministry of Social Affairs and integrated with data from BPS. The data is dynamic and updated every three months. Through this system, the government can ensure bansos are disbursed to those most in need. Generally, recipients are those in deciles up to 5; those above decile 5 are generally not prioritized, though final decisions still go through on-site verification and validation. This policy is implemented to ensure aid truly reaches the people who need it.
