JAKARTA (June 16, 2021) - The Ministry of Social Affairs continues to improve data on social assistance, including the conditional social assistance program for the Family Hope Program (PKH), so that there are no more overlapping data on social assistance recipients.

 

The Minister of Social Affairs, Tri Rismaharini explained that together with her staff, her party is tidying up and ensuring the accuracy of the dual data on social assistance beneficiaries in the Integrated Social Welfare Data (DTKS) which must be matched with the Population Identification Number (NIK) so that it can truly be a reference for all program distribution of social assistance.

 

"We are not standing still. We, assisted by the companions of social assistance fund for beneficiaries, PKH HR, continue to move to improve duplicate data by involving the Regional Government and Dukcapil," said the Minister of Social Affairs some time ago during a Working Meeting with Commission VIII DPR RI in Jakarta.

 

The double data in question is the existence of multiple names of social assistance recipients with the same NIK. To overcome this, said the Minister of Social Affairs, it is done by eliminating the double names so that only one name remains. These dual names are found in the PKH social assistance and Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT)/Basic Food Program.

 

Responding to the Minister of Social's instructions, PKH Human Resources (HR) immediately updated the data on the e-PKH application. "We welcome messages and instructions from the Minister of Social Affairs to repair and update data in the e-PKH application," said PKH Coordinator for the DKI Jakarta Province, Andi Mawardi, when met in his office.

 

e-PKH is a digital-based breakthrough made by the Ministry of Social Affairs to improve data accuracy and ensure that the distribution of social assistance runs effectively.

 

e-PKH facilitates the validation process of prospective PKH recipients without paper and files because it can calculate social assistance automatically can enter the results of verification of the commitment of Beneficiary Families (KPM) quickly, and monitor the implementation of Family Capacity Building Meetings (P2K2) on an ongoing basis.

 

"The process is ongoing, of course, there needs to be data collected by PKH HR friends, such as supporting KK and ID cards that are juxtaposed, to become a reference for PKH HR companion to update PKH KPM data on the e-PKH application," he explained.

 

In principle, he continued, PKH Facilitator is responsible for correcting the data for each assisted KPM in his working area in e-PKH application.

“In this application, they have their own accounts, and there is already a mapping. Once they log in, what opens is their own account with the data on the KPM. So, what they collect is their KPM ID cards, not mixed. This means that they are responsible for the data of their respective assisted KPM, fully responsible for updating the data in their respective working areas,” said Andi.

According to him, the majority of duplicate or invalid data found between the e-PKH system and Dukcapil were due to data input errors and the KK submitted by KPM to the PKH Facilitator which was not the latest KK.

“When filing, KPM attaches documents that are outdated or blurry so that they are difficult to read by the Companion. That's because the KK-KTP that is included is often not the latest version. Well, often, we find writing or input errors, such as 0 written 8, 1 becomes 7, we input it according to what KPM gives, it turns out to be a problem now, double NIK, invalid data, not found," said the man who has served as the PKH Regional Korwil DKI Jakarta Province since 2015.

In response to this, Andi said, the PKH Facilitator continues to update the data that can be carried out and executed in e-PKH, "Furthermore, there are several things that are beyond our capacity, related to SIKS-NG, which require cooperation with the operator, yes we do the cooperation," he added.

With the improvement and updating of data, he hopes that problems related to social assistance data, especially data on PKH social assistance recipients, will not occur again.

"Companion of PKH HR have made efforts to update the KPM with updated conditions as much as possible, hopefully soon, all problems will be resolved soon and there will be no overlapping of social assistance data," he said.
