Bandung, West Java (ANTARA) - Manpower Minister Yassierli said the fourth-quarter 2026 wage subsidy aid (BSU) is still undergoing administrative review at the Finance Ministry.

“Let's wait for BSU, we are still processing its administration at the Finance Ministry. Just wait,” Yassierli said here on Saturday.

Since it is still under administrative review, no BSU has been disbursed so far, he said, and he expressed hope that the public stays patient and wary of potential fraud.

He stressed that valid BSU information comes only from official Manpower Ministry channels, such as its website.

“Not disbursed yet. Be careful. For BSU, my message is to wait for valid information on the Manpower Ministry’s website. Do not trust other information. What is valid comes from the Manpower Ministry,” he added.

Previously, the government has prepared BSU for workers in the fourth quarter of 2026. The aid covers October to December 2026, totaling Rp900,000 for each eligible worker.

Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto announced the plan after a limited meeting with President Prabowo Subianto at the Presidential Palace on Wednesday (September 30).

The aid is Rp300,000 per month for three months, paid in one lump sum. The government targets about 13.3 million workers, requiring a budget of almost Rp12 trillion.

Hartarto said the aid is to be distributed through transfers to recipients’ bank accounts.

He said this aligns with the President’s mandate for a free account program for 25.16 million residents aged 17 and above in deciles 1 through 4, or the poorest 40 percent, who do not yet have bank accounts.

To qualify, individuals must be Indonesian citizens holding a valid NIK (population identification number), active employment social security agency BPJS Ketenagakerjaan members through August 2026, and earning Rp3.5 million or less per month.
