The Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) is a social assistance (bansos) programme aimed at helping poor and vulnerable families in Indonesia. This programme is routinely distributed through banks or post offices in stages.

According to the website of the Republic of Indonesia’s Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos), PKH has broad objectives, ranging from improving living standards, reducing expenditure burdens, to fostering independence among its recipients. The programme also aims to introduce the public to formal financial products and services.

Since the beginning of 2026, the disbursement of the first phase of PKH assistance has taken place. Now, entering April, many people are beginning to question the schedule for the second phase disbursement. So, when will PKH 2026 Phase 2 be disbursed? Check the information below!

When Will PKH 2026 Phase 2 Be Disbursed?

The distribution of PKH assistance is carried out in stages over one year, with a quarterly system every three months. For 2026, the disbursement is divided into four phases as follows:

  • Phase 1: January-March

  • Phase 2: April-June

  • Phase 3: July-September

  • Phase 4: October-December

Specifically for Phase 2, the assistance is distributed over the period from April to June. However, there is no exact date regarding the disbursement of this PKH assistance because the process occurs in stages. Each recipient may receive the assistance at different times. Therefore, the public is advised to check the assistance status regularly.
