"According to the instructions from the PT Pos Indonesia Head Office, the distribution of BST will be carried out from July 19 to July 27, 2021," head of the Central Jakarta Post Office, Syafrizal, said in a statement received here on Monday.
At least 300 thousand Indonesian rupiahs will be doled out to each beneficiary family (KPM) per month under BST, he informed. In July this year, recipients will be provided a two-month quota of Rp600 thousand, accumulated from May and June, he added.
The targeted recipients in Central Jakarta are residing in eight sub-districts, Syafrizal said.
Cash will be distributed in Cempaka Putih sub-district on July 19-20, 2021, Gambir sub-district on July 21, Menteng sub-district on July 22, and Sawah Besar sub-district on July 23, he informed.
Meanwhile, cash will be disbursed in Kemayoran sub-district on July 24-25, 2021, Senen sub-district on 26 July, and Tanah Abang sub-district on July 27, he said.
DKI Jakarta residents will be able to check their status and whether they are registered as recipients by clicking on the social aid tab on the corona.jakarta.go.id web page, he added.
The recipients will be monitored through their family card number (KK), Syafrizal said. Based on data, 55,346 families in the Central Jakarta area are eligible for the social aid, he added.
To qualify for the aid, BST recipients will need to register for the 2020 basic necessities social aid program and not for the Family Hope Program (PKH) and/or Non-Cash Food AID (BPNT) program, he said.
Registered recipients will receive an invitation at least one day before the aid disbursal from the designated regional officer, he said. If residents do not attend on the first schedule, they will be rescheduled to the second schedule or third schedule, after the distribution of the first phase is completed in the five areas of DKI Jakarta and the Seribu (Thousand) Islands, he added.
