The Government is continuing the phased disbursement of BPNT for May 2026. By the middle of the second quarter, Keluarga Penerima Manfaat (KPM) across various regions are beginning to receive the non-cash food assistance allocated via the Kartu Keluarga Sejahtera (KKS) or PT Pos Indonesia.

Under the regular schedule, May falls within Phase 2 (April–June). However, the transfer of funds to recipients’ accounts is conducted in waves or instalments, so the timing of receipt can differ between regions.

The aid distribution is divided into four main phases throughout the 2026 fiscal year. As of 19 May 2026, the distribution is focused on Phase 2. If assistance has not entered the KKS accounts in April, KPM still have the opportunity to receive disbursement until the end of June due to its phased nature.

The BPNT amount is Rp200,000 per month. In some cases, disbursement is made in arrears for three months (rapel), so KPM can receive up to Rp600,000 in a single disbursement.

To ensure you are included in the list of recipients for the phased BPNT disbursement, please follow these steps: The system will display your participation status, the period of assistance currently being processed, and whether funds have been transferred to the disbursement bank or not. The public is advised to be vigilant against any fraud asking for administrative fees, as all social assistance programs are not charged any fees.
