The disbursement of social assistance under the Family Hope Programme and Non-Cash Food Assistance (PKH BPNT) for phase 2 of 2026 began in the second week of April. Amid this rollout, the public is advised to promptly check their recipient status using their Population Registration Number (NIK). This is because the latest recipient data has been updated, and not all previous recipients remain registered. In the second quarter disbursement of 2026, 11,014 Beneficiary Families (KPM) will no longer receive assistance as they fall into the inclusion error category, meaning they are no longer considered poor or vulnerable. This removal ensures the aid is more accurately targeted. Thus, even if previously receiving assistance, status can change after re-verification. The following is how to check PKH BPNT recipients for 2026: Disbursement of social assistance is conducted through the Consortium of State-Owned Banks (Himbara) or PT Pos Indonesia. For new recipients without accounts, assistance is temporarily channelled via PT Pos Indonesia before being transferred to a bank.
