Jakarta, January 12 2021Published: January 12, 2021
As an effort to ease the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the community, the DKI Jakarta Social Service together with Bank DKI as of Tuesday, January 12 2021 began distributing Cash Social Assistance (BST) to the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government in stages while still implementing strict health protocols. This was conveyed by the Corporate Secretary of Bank DKI, Herry Djufraini in his written statement in Jakarta, (12/1).
Bank DKI Corporate Secretary, Herry Djufraini said, "The amount of BST DKI Jakarta is IDR 300 thousand per month which is given for four months, starting from January to April 2021." The BST is distributed through accounts and given in the form of Bank DKI Savings Cards and ATM Cards.
The distribution of BST to 1,055,216 beneficiaries will be carried out starting January 2021 in stages and in turns from one DKI Jakarta administrative area to another. Distribution locations are located at 160 locations in each administrative city area of DKI Jakarta.
By still paying attention to health protocols, the BST distribution carried out by Bank DKI together with the Social Service of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government per location point only serves a maximum of 500 BST recipients per day. Each recipient of social assistance will receive an invitation no later than H-1 before the distribution and the invitation will be delivered by the social assistance unit to the RT RW and then given to the Beneficiary Families (KPM). After arriving at the BST distribution location, beneficiaries are required to always wear a mask, wash their hands and check their body temperature and maintain distance inside and outside the BST distribution room.
Herry added, "BST recipients are required to bring an invitation, KTP and family card (original & photocopy). If the BST recipient is unable to attend according to the distribution schedule, the recipient will be invited back for a second invitation to a third invitation which will be carried out after the first distribution is completed in 5 areas of DKI Jakarta and the Thousand Islands."
BUMD Synergy with Jakarta Propertindo
In the process of preparing the distribution of Cash Social Assistance, Herry said that Bank DKI always complies with the implementation of health protocols. Furthermore, Herry, representing Bank DKI, expressed his thanks to all parties who have supported the preparation process for distributing Cash Social Assistance, including Jakarta Propertindo, which has provided room facilities at the Jakarta International Equestrian Park Pulomas for coordinating the distribution of DKI Cash Social Assistance. "This form of support is a real manifestation of the synergy of BUMD DKI Jakarta," said Herry.
The distribution of Cash Social Assistance is again a sign of the trust that the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has placed in Bank DKI for its experience in supporting various other DKI Jakarta Provincial Government work programs such as the Jakarta Smart Plus Card, the Jakarta Superior Student Card, the Jakarta Elderly Card, the Jakarta Disabled Persons Card and the Jakarta Worker Card as well as various other DKI Jakarta Provincial Government programs.
