Since Tuesday, January 12 2021, the DKI Jakarta Social Service together with Bank DKI have started distributing Cash Social Assistance (BST) in order to ease the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the community. The assistance which comes from the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government APBD is currently still being distributed to the community until it is scheduled to be completed at the end of January 2021.
Regarding the implementation of Cash Social Assistance distribution, Bank DKI gives appreciation to Cash Social Assistance (BST) recipients who have complied with Health protocols at BST distribution distribution locations. BST recipients are also cooperative in following the schedule that has been submitted to avoid crowds. This was conveyed by the Corporate Secretary of Bank DKI, Herry Djufraini in his written statement in Jakarta, (19/1).
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. The BST is distributed through accounts and given in the form of Bank DKI Savings Cards and ATM Cards.
BST recipients who come to the location are required to bring an invitation, KTP and Family Card (Original & Photocopy) as a condition for receiving assistance. BST recipients are expected to come according to schedule to avoid crowds. For BST recipients who are unable to attend according to the distribution schedule, the recipients will be invited back at the second invitation until the invitation is made after the first distribution is complete in the 5 areas of DKI Jakarta and the Seribu Islands.
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 is carried out and the invitation will be delivered by the Head of 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.
