National Collaboration Launched: 11 Million JKN Subsidised Health Insurance Records Set for Verification
The Coordinating Ministry for Community Empowerment (Kemenko PM) has launched a nationwide ground-check exercise targeting recipients of the Subsidised Contribution (PBI) scheme under the National Health Insurance (JKN) programme. The initiative forms part of broader efforts to strengthen the accuracy of social protection data.
In carrying out the ground check, Kemenko PM is working alongside the Ministry of Social Affairs, the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), regional social affairs offices, and field facilitators from the Family Hope Programme (PKH). Some 11 million PBI JKN records are set to be verified through this cross-ministry and inter-agency collaboration.
Coordinating Minister for Community Empowerment A. Muhaimin Iskandar affirmed that the exercise constitutes a coordinated national effort to ensure that health insurance contribution subsidies from the Social Security Administering Body (BPJS Kesehatan) reach those who are genuinely entitled.
“Today we are mobilising the entire BPS apparatus and the full ranks of the Ministry of Social Affairs to ensure that every recipient of national social health insurance contribution subsidies — as a form of state protection — is properly targeted,” Muhaimin said in a written statement on Thursday (19 February 2026).
Muhaimin further explained that the data update is based on the National Integrated Socio-Economic Database (DTSEN), which has served as the national reference for one year, as mandated by Presidential Instruction Number 4 of 2025.
The DTSEN is designed as a dynamic dataset that is continuously updated to reflect changes in community circumstances, including births, deaths, and shifts in welfare levels. The government has ensured the system remains open to periodic updates through both formal and participatory mechanisms.
Muhaimin stressed that the integrity of field officers and the honesty of the public are key factors in the success of the process.
“I reiterate to all members of the public: should BPS or Ministry of Social Affairs officers conduct a ground check or data verification, please provide accurate information that reflects actual conditions, so that we can ensure government assistance is properly targeted,” he said.
At the same event, Social Affairs Minister Saifullah Yusuf disclosed that the data update is being conducted through two channels. The first is a formal channel operating in tiers from the neighbourhood association (RT/RW) level up to regional government, using the SIKS-NG (Next Generation Social Welfare Information System) application.
The second is a participatory channel open to the public through the Cek Bansos application, a command centre reachable at 021-171, or a WhatsApp Centre at 0887-7171-171, to receive objections and data update proposals.
Meanwhile, BPS head Amalia Adininggar Widyasanti explained that the ground check will be carried out in two phases. The first phase covers 106,153 individuals, or approximately 104,000 households. This phase begins with training and fieldwork targeted for completion by 14 March 2026.
“The second phase will subsequently verify around 11 million individuals, or 5.9 million households, commencing after the Eid al-Fitr holiday and projected for completion by the end of April 2026,” she said.
The national ground check marks a significant milestone in strengthening the governance of social protection based on a single national dataset that is precise, equitable, and sustainable.
