Official Link for 2026 Wage Subsidy Check Released; Requirements for Rp 900,000 Aid Revealed
The search for the official 2026 BSU check link has increased among workers following the government’s preparation of Wage Subsidy Assistance (BSU) for the fourth quarter. The total aid, amounting to Rp 900,000, is intended for approximately 13.3 million workers.
While the government has announced the amount and target for the 2026 BSU, the full recipient requirements and specific checking mechanisms for 2026 have not yet been fully established. Consequently, workers should distinguish between official 2026 provisions and requirements still referring to previous BSU programmes.
Official BSU 2026 Check Link
Workers can monitor BSU information and checks through the official Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker) portal at: bsu.kemnaker.go.id.
This portal serves as an official reference for BSU information. However, as of 1 October 2026, the page still displays information regarding the 2025 BSU, meaning the specific checking feature for fourth-quarter 2026 recipients is not yet available. This means workers who enter their NIK (National Identity Number) but do not yet find a 2026 BSU status should not immediately conclude they are ineligible. The government is still preparing technical regulations to govern recipient criteria, distribution mechanisms, and the disbursement schedule for the 2026 BSU.
How to Check 2026 BSU Using NIK
In previous BSU distributions, workers could check their recipient status via the Kemnaker BSU page using their NIK. Based on previous mechanisms, the steps are:
Visit the bsu.kemnaker.go.id website.
Locate the NIK Recipient Check menu.
Enter the 16-digit NIK from your ID card.
Enter the security code or CAPTCHA.
Click ‘Check Status’.
Wait for the system to display the recipient status.
It should be noted that these steps represent the mechanism used in previous programmes. For the fourth quarter of 2020, workers must await updates once Kemnaker opens the specific checking feature for this year.
2026 BSU Recipient Requirements
The government has not yet fully announced the requirements for 2026 BSU recipients. Therefore, the provisions applicable to the 2025 BSU cannot be considered the final criteria for the fourth quarter of 2026.
As a reference, 2025 BSU recipients, based on Ministerial Regulation (Permenaker) Number 5 of 2025, had to meet several criteria, including:
Indonesian Citizenship (WNI) proven by NIK.
Active participant in the BPJS Ketenagakerjaan social security programme.
Receiving a monthly salary or wage of no more than Rp 3.5 million.
Not being a Civil Servant (ASN), military personnel (TNI), or National Police (Polri) member.
Priority given to workers or labourers who are not receiving the Family Hope Programme (PKH) in the current year before the BSU is distributed.
However, workers should not assume all these requirements apply to 2026. Kemnaker is still awaiting the latest regulations specifically governing the recipients for the fourth quarter of 2026.
2026 BSU Provides Rp 900,000
The government is preparing the BSU for the period of October, November, and December 2026. The aid amount is set at Rp 300,000 per month. The government plans to disburse it all at once, so the total aid received by workers reaches Rp 900,000.
The breakdown is:
October 2026: Rp 300,000
November 2026: Rp 300,000
December 2026: Rp 300,000
Total: Rp 900,000
The programme targets approximately 13.3 million workers, with a budget requirement of nearly Rp 12 trillion.
Is 2026 BSU Based on Deciles?
Questions regarding deciles have emerged following the government’s announcement of several aid programmes for the fourth quarter of 2020. However, there are no provisions stating that the 2026 BSU is only given to workers from specific deciles. In the 2025 BSU, recipient criteria were not determined by decile; one condition was that recipients were prioritised if they were not receiving PKH. Therefore, workers should not conclude that being in a certain decile automatically determines eligibility for the 2026 BSU.
When will 2026 BSU be disbursed?
The government has stated that the BSU is for the period of October to December 2026 and is planned for a single disbursement. However, the official disbursement date for the 2026 BSU has not been announced. The government is still preparing the technical rules for the programme. Consequently, workers should be cautious of messages claiming the BSU can be withdrawn on a specific date before an official government announcement.
Beware of Fake 2026 BSU Links
The high volume of searches for the 2026 BSU check link necessitates vigilance. Do not open BSU links sent via WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, or other social media platforms indiscriminately. Use bsu.kemnaker.go.id as an official reference for BSU information. Workers should also avoid providing their NIK, account numbers, OTPs, passwords, or other personal data to unverified parties. Additionally, avoid sites that request administrative fees or ask workers to register through private links to obtain the BSU.
Conclusion: What is the 2026 BSU Check Link?
The official Kemnaker BSU link is bsu.kemnaker.go.id. However, as of early October 2026, the checking system for the 2026 BSU has not been fully updated, and available information still refers to the 2025 distribution. Meanwhile, the government has confirmed the plan for the fourth quarter 2026 BSU of Rp 900,000 for approximately 13.3 million workers. While the 2025 provisions can serve as an initial guide, they are not final criteria. Official requirements for the 2026 BSU must await the latest government regulations. Workers wishing to check their status should monitor bsu.kemnaker.go.id regularly and follow only official government channels.
